I wish people would leave white lights up year round. They look so pretty. This is someone's home in the area of Sacramento called the fabulous 40's. We do not get snow so I added it as my wish for a light snowfall. Nice on Black.

So pretty. I really like the lights on houses, too.

I recognize that house and the snow is a nice effect here.

Very nice effect. I’d love to key the lights on year round, but today had to take them down. Kind of sad. Fav

How lovely:)

[gloria jones]

Wonderful capture of these lovely lights

[Helen Jane]

I guess they would run up a huge electricity bill - so better to enjoy them when the Christmas season comes around. I agree - they do look very pretty.

[wendy frost]

Looks very pretty and lovely to see in the snow.

[Joy's Focus]

Love it with the snow!

[Hope D Jennings]

I agree! I love the lights

[Elizabeth]

Wonderful edit and I agree! I love white lights and would love to see them for longer than just the holiday season.

[Danette Thompson]

I think that's why the patio lights have become so popular.

[bkb in the city]

Very nice

[Ron]

Wow, you had me for a minute there. When I saw Sacramento - and then I saw snow - I was confused. Reading closer I now get it. Duh. So I'll say cool effect!

[Lastrami]

So beautiful! I also like the shining Christmas lights very much. On the other hand, there is so much light pollution ... Maybe it's good to use additional lights only for limited duration. When the illumination stays something special, we probably enjoy it much more :)

[Faye Turner]

Nicely captured

[Sandy Z W]

You've been watching too many Hallmark movies. Looks just like one. 😆

[Pyrrhula]

The pic. shows it very well.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Very pretty- the snowfall is totally believable! I like the lights too and wish they'd stay up at least through the winter. Some restaurants have them all year long. They're always so cheery in the dark and cold nights.

[Fisher Family]

A lovely shot! For the last couple of years white lights have been left on the gates through the medieval city walls until the end of February.
