the reason for the season

a display outside a church we passed on our drive to the restaurant tonight. i love it mostly for the colourful effects. my first instinct was to save this for the 24th or the 25th, but it's too pretty not to post right away.

here's the black and white version:

Very festive and it is very beautiful!

[Sally Ings]

Btw, it looks stunning in b&w, very dramatic!

[Tammie]

This one is nice, but I have to agree with Sally, the B&W is stunning.

Pretty capture! I love the colours of the lights sparkling away in your pic :)

[Chris]

Lovely Festive shot.

[Dorrena Ortega]

Pretty! The b&w look good, too. Awesome!

[Claire]

Love the B&W one,tried to comment but couldn't; it is so stylish. This is beautiful too but for me, the b&w one has the edge:0)

[Anne ❀]

love the colours, beautiful scene

[Henri Russell]

Lovely capture. I find the outside lights are hard for me to get clearly in focus.

[Laraine Kensicki]

i like it both in color and in b&w

[Carolyn Sue]

wonderful capture! Love it!

[Leslie]

Like the b&w the best.

[Terry]

very pretty, I like the smaller lights like this

[bkb in the city]

Very nice display. I am sure you will come up with something just as nice for those days

[Kathy Burzynski]

This is really very, very beautiful! When I saw that you had a b&w version I thought this wouldn't be one of those ideal subjects for b&W - I was totally wrong! Love both very much!

[☠northy]

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That really is quite pretty! Glad you didn't save it for later!
