There is a lovely park about a mile from my house that has a beautiful display of Christmas lights. Every year, camera in hand, I attempt to find new angles for photos, hoping to capture something that doesn’t look like every other photo I have ever taken there. This year I wanted to catch the park at sunset. It sounded easy enough, but I was never in the right place at the right time until after Christmas. Finally, a few weeks before the lights are scheduled to come down, I now have a series of photos from sunset to dark that showcases the grandeur of God’s sky as it progresses to man-made brilliance.







With a smidgen of regret, these lights will be taken down on January 20th, but if they stayed up all the time, they wouldn’t be special anymore!


So beautiful! The town putters -up-of-lights must be really delighted with their efforts.
So very pretty!

This is soooo pretty. We have a park here, maybe 20 minutes away, where they do lights like this. I went last winter, but didn’t do it this year. Your images with the sunset colors included are stunning.

Thanks so much! I’ll have to make a point of going at sunset again next year… and you should go to your park, too!

The lighting is so subtle in the first photo I didn’t even realize there were Christmas lights in the trees until I started reading your post. What a beautiful bridge as well (with or without the lights).

It was a delicate sunset, my favorite kind. And I agree… the bridge is a beauty. By the way, I almost always comment on your posts but sometimes they just don’t show up! I guess I’m “comment” challenged!

WordPress is nothing if not inconsistent. Sometimes it won’t even let me simply “like” a post. Always an adventure 🙂
