Holiday Lights in St Marys County

I decided to wander around to some housing developments to photograph holiday lights.  It was fun to see how creative folks get and how they share their fun with the neighbors.  These are not areas I often photograph.  I am purposely leaving out locations for privacy purposes.  

Although I did find a fun Holly Jolly Light trail contest with houses you can drive by or watch on video.  The Southern Maryland’s Holly Jolly Light trail is listed on Facebook.  There is a map to locations in several counties.  We visited a few and some were regular lights and others were over the top.  Somdxmaslights.com takes you to the website with the maps.

Here are some colorful scenes I found.

Philadelphia Night Landscapes

I've been sick most of the week, but finally took the time to edit some sights from our holiday trip to Pennsylvania.  

I've been wanting to see Boathouse Row for years, so we fugured out where to photograph it.  The weather was much warmer than usual, so I wanted to take advantage of it.  Unfortunately, most of the lights were not working and there is now a giant net across the river to capture boaters before they reach the waterfalls.

     This building had the most interesting lights

I think the Art Museum at night was more impressive.  I just turned my camera in a different direction.

I took these pictures at twilight, right after sunset, when the  sky is deep blue.

Christmas tree lights at Homestead Gardens

We stopped by Homestead Gardens last week while returning from a trip to Annapolis.  Pretty!
