Oh Little Cincinnati Town

How still we see thee lay.

I've been singing carols and having fun with editing and selfies. Stay tuned.

This was a skyline shot from my riverboat date night over the summer. Taken handheld with a point and shoot on a moving boat. Not too shabby considering. I was wanting to make the skyline into a Christmas tree, but that wasn't working out so this was plan B.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas...can you believe 2014 is almost over?! Wow, where did that time go?

[Danny G.]

This would make such a wonderful Christmas card. Lovely work - I did night shots handheld with a p&s at my last NYC visit and I know exactly how difficult they are. FAV

Beautiful

[Beryl Lloyd]

How very sweet --a beautiful Christmas card !

[Jane Anderson]

Enchanting!

[Julia]

So pretty!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Those lights on the water are fit right in with the holiday decorating frenzy we're all involved with. I like the snow you've added.

[Ashley]

Excellent shot! I assume you added that star?

[Simply Amanda]

@shesnapped Yes, it looked more like a modern day Bethlehem scene and Christmassy that way:).

[jayn]

very nice. star is a fab touch

[*lynn]

Merry Christmas! Great shot and edit. Love that area. Newport Aquarium is the best aquarium we've ever been to.

[Corinne]

magical !

[Simply Amanda]

@homeschoolmom They have Scuba Santa this time of year. And you can pet sharks, Thanks!

[Lisa Poland]

@amandal Oh, that would be so cool. When we were there a shark sneezed on my youngest son when he was petting it.

[Simply Amanda]

@homeschoolmom Not many people can say they were sneezed on by a shark!!

[Issi Bannerman]

Aww, and same to you! Lovely, lovely Christmas Greetings.

[Darlene]

This is such a great shot and love how festive you made it for Christmas. This year flew by like they all do. Pouring down rain here and windy too. Lots of accidents and lots of street flooding as it has rained leaves that were all ready to fall. Enjoying this gray day and the 60 degree temp. FAV I do love the star you put in the sky. Would make awesome Christmas cards.

[Scott]

Cool card image! Some "little town" ;-).

[Lisa Villella]

Pretty night shot!

[Simply Amanda]

@sbolden It is a little big town. It's a nice sized city with a smaller town feel. I live in the burbs outside of town.

[Suse♡]

Merry merry Christmas to you too, this would make an excellent Christmas portrait and yes, just a while ago it was new year 2013 and now 2014 is almost over, where did it go indeed :O

[Rosie Kerr]

Seasons greetings to you, too... nice "re-purposing" for the holidays.

[👑 AnaZad]

Beautiful capture and processing.

[Tony]

Fantastic night capture. Love your use of the adjective "little" - looks like a full-grown city to me. Enjoy your Holiday Season.

[Simply Amanda]

@tonydebont It's little compared to NYC:). Not so little a town, but does have a smaller town feel. Cincy is a great city. Thanks, Tony!!!

[Shailesh]

lovely

[Gadaza]

Wonderful image and processing.

[Maggiemae]

Your town is hardly little! As @tonydebont says! Seen across the water is really bright and beautiful - like that hymn!

[Alison Tomlin]

Well I knew you'd be feeling festive! I need to get going. A great looking scene to get us in the mood

[gloria jones]

Superb capture and Christmas card, fav

@andrewkru Thanks, Andrew. I was going for real and not silly for a change...thanks for mentioning it.

Lovely shot....and, thank you for the Christmas wishes! Yes, I seem to wonder where time went at the end of each year, too...
