Christmas is coming, and for the next few days we'll have Christmas in the blog. I do this for my readers, and not for myself. This is a difficult time of year for me that brings out a depression- what I call my black wall- that doesn't lift until after December 27th or so. I've had it going on for weeks, and it's guaranteed each year. Anyway, these first shots are taken around the Glebe neighbourhood.
I took this one close to home- this angel is inside a florist's shop.
Another day, I passed through the Delta hotel lobby, where they had decorations out.
On another evening, I was passing by the World Exchange Plaza, where I took this shot.
Across the street, more Christmas lights. A careful eye might pick up the statue of the First Nations hunter at street level.
I came by the War Museum one day earlier this month for lunch, and took a photo of the Christmas tree in the lobby.
William, it is not unusual to have bad days, nowadays people tend to forget it. Days get longer after Xmas. It's good to know that people around the whole world are very happy with your photo's.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to a week from now when it will have lifted.
DeleteGood photos, I don't celebrate Christmas and this can be a tough time for many people for many different reasons.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's family dynamics.
DeleteLovely photos, Christmas time is definitely more appealing with snow.
ReplyDeleteWe should have a white Christmas.
DeleteBeautiful photos, William. We celebrate Christmas together on a small scale and modestly, without the glitter and glamour. With only natural materials and some candles for decoration.
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas will be quiet.
DeleteAll the very best for Christmas and the New Year. MY 2026 bring you good fortune and great happiness.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI am sorry this is not a good time for you but I think it helps you do it for us anyways.
ReplyDeleteWhen Ingo was so severly sick the blogger-world helped me through.
If this lightens your mood: In 1995 I was in Glebe, Sydney, Australia, and we had real good sausages at the youth hostel.
I love the lights and festive decorations, thank you for sharing and ... a virtual hug to you.
You're welcome.
DeleteWonderful captures of the joyous season.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Thank you.
Delete...find light during the darkest times.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost over. It's the music that brings it on, and one can't escape that.
DeleteBeautiful holiday photos ~ it is a hard time of year for many ~ sending you lots of hugs,
ReplyDeleteHappy days to come - wishes that the earth’s new longer days will bring more joy to you!
ReplyDeleteA pretty post, I love all the lights and decorations!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours Happy Christmas!
I'm out of sorts at this time as well. I just want to hibernate, but I recognize it's not an ideal alternative.
ReplyDeleteLet's make an effort to mingle with friends and family, show them our best smile and forget about "the winter blues" or "Christmas blues" . It will work.
Looks like you are having a white Christmas. Merry Christmas, William.
ReplyDeleteHang in there for the next week or so. Love all the lights, William.
ReplyDeleteWilliam, your photos are absolutely stunning. I totally understand depression, and I understand this time of year can be difficult for many, myself included.

Sending you warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love, dear friend.
