Memorial Lights And Blue Snowflakes

These Christmas lights are set up around the War Memorial.


Down in the Glebe, meanwhile, Bank Street had blue and white balls in the trees, with snowflake shapes flashing on and off within, giving the illusion of movement.

  5. Blue is such a pretty color this time of year. I remember an art teacher telling me that blue is a colder color than black! Add blue to a snowman and "brrrr" he looks cold! Great job of photographing the scene.

  6. These are beautiful! I normally prefer multicolored lights and ornaments, but the blue really works here.

  20. @Gemma: and more lights to come.

    @Jennifer: yes, it finally feels more like winter.

    @Revrunner: I look forward to it.

    @Kay: today we finally have some snow around.

    @Geoff: it certainly can be.

    @Tamago: being under the weather does hamper the holidays.

  23. Looks very pretty.
    Is it done and paid for by the city or is it done buy some people with money?
    Here we have some shop owners who pay, - and some who don't...

  24. @Theresa: I certainly think so.

    @Pamela: that they are.

    @EG: thank you.

    @Karl: it stands out!

    @Gunn: in this case the federal government puts up the funding for the ones around the downtown core. The decor in the Glebe is from the local neighbourhood business association.
