really?!?! by summerfield

really?!?!

tonight, partner had to make a special delivery northeast of the city and i thought i'd tag along. he told me to bring the tripod. on our way there, guess what we spotted at an out-of-the-way little church?

i love Christmas but isn't it too early for this? i mean it's not even november yet!

i think i've freaked out a lot of people with me sitting in the car with my camera mounted on the tripod. tee-hee! i took a lot of street lights that were out-of-focus which made for nice bokeh shots. aside from the Christmas tree, it was a ho-hum outing.

my either or october post is here: http://365project.org/summerfield/365-again/2012-10-22

thank you for your visits and comments; know that they are greatly appreciated.

@cheribug - it's cold, we have nothing else to do! :-) thank you, my friend!

Christmas in October ?
October 23rd, 2012  
That is pretty unexpected! Looks lovely though!

@pamfromcalgary - i saw it from a mile away, partner was desperately trying to find it and didn't see it until he almost drove past it. we passed by this church on saturday night so it must've been done either yesterday or today. i agree with you, it's lovely especially with the moon above it. thank you, pam.

Hello. It's been a frazzly few days for me and my memory has been like a sieve. I can't remember if I gave you the challenge for Get Pushed Week 14 or not. If I have, please disregard the following.

If I haven't yet, then I now challenge you to also do a collage too. Select a book or magazine or comic book--or even an e-reader that has a book visible on the display--and make a collage using at least four different photo styles/white balance effects and four different perspectives of the book. If you can, use your camera settings to create the different photo styles/white balance settings, but using an editing program is okay. Have fun! I've been having fun with the challenge you set me.

Beautiful capture, nice night shot. All to soon this year will be done and dusted! Time just flies by.
October 23rd, 2012  
Already? Nice capture regardless
October 23rd, 2012  
Lovely capture of the tree, but definitely a bit early! I nearly got very grumpy when I had to dodge oversized crackers and stockings in the supermarket...
October 23rd, 2012  
It's Christmas already!? XD Actually, two days ago, I spotted fully decorated Christmas trees in a mall. Great capture. I like blue lights on a tree. 8)

i was just trying to get malcolm to put our lights up because it was warm - but not to turn them on! - i thought, gee, we could do a really good job since the weather was nice instead of rushing due to freezing - or not doing it because the weather is too cold! he put a new roof on the garage instead. bah humbug. great shot, vikki.
October 23rd, 2012  
Wow. Great night shot...Christmas Tree...it's not even Halloween. I guess some people are just anxious.
October 23rd, 2012  
Okay I know a lot of people keep the lights up year round but to turn them on this early is just a little to much. Great find though

This is absurd- and I can't believe it's a church!!! They should know better.
October 24th, 2012  
street light, tree light, moonlight!
October 24th, 2012  
Seriously?! That is way too early. Nice shot, though!

Sears was playing Christmas music at the beginning of October. All this is waaayy too early. I read an article and they call this Holiday Creep - one holiday creeping into another - in this case Christmas creeping into Halloween. Crazy I say!

@summerfield I was thinking of this shot when I discovered that the city here has turned on the Christmas lights that are attached to the lampposts downtown
October 25th, 2012  
They are starting the Christmas season earlier and earlier every year and I don't know why. Beautifully captured though, love how you included the moon in this shot =)
October 27th, 2012  
Unreal! I believe in getting Rememberence Sunday done before starting on Christmas!
