Twelfth Night, dismantling the Christmas decorations.

If you look carefully...beyond the JCB, you'll see a ‘curtain' of hanging lights. This is the last one to be dismantled. The entire street, Rue de Général de Gaulle, was festooned with such lighting, thus creating a glimmering scene all day long.

Now that all the village's decorations have been and gone until next Christmas...Paimpont is enjoying a welcome pause...phew!

When the decorations come down I always think of it as a message - 'OK - we’ve had some fun, now it's back to normal'.

Interesting to think that a town does this specifically on the 12th day of Christmas. Perhaps it is a coincidence. I sort of hate to see the festive decorations go away myself. Our town has a lot of "wintery" decorations, snowflakes mostly, that can be left up a bit longer.

Your shot captures the buildings' stonework and tones on both sides of the street which I like.

Great peek into town life. It's fun to see the cars and yellow equipment next to those gorgeous old buildings.

Reminds me of the small town in which I grew up - not in actual looks but how the life of the town followed a pretty regular circular routine
