Christmas lights in the town center

[12voltman59]

I just took these new photos earlier this evening--I had gone to Kroger's to get some last minute items I need to get for what I am contributing to my family turkey day meal, then grabbed a bite to eat at a local eatery----going along with my new vow to carry my camera with me at nearly all times if at all possible--I decided to go and shoot some photos in the heart of my suburban town.

I hope for those of you here in the states who are celebrating Thanksgiving--I hope it is a good one--and I also hope that you all have a good holiday season---all of the various holidays that get celebrated at this time of the year----

I also hope--as usual--most of you like the photos:

Damnit! Now I have a craving for City BBQ. Fortunately, the one in the pics is the nearest one to me! :bigrin:

Love the pictures as always. You always seem to capture the quintessential American heartland town my friend. Quaint, interesting and full of life.

Me too. The girls and I love that place. Although, we always eat too much there to go to the Graeters next door.

Damn, they didn't waste time... was Thanksgiving even over ?

Anyhow, nice pictures.

[jem_is_bi]

OH! You have such great photos!
When sex is control of your being, I bet, (in a sexy voice) you ask the target of your lust: You want to see ALL my photographic art, don’t you?
That would really work!!

Doggy :doggie:

I don't think that you can directly load photos on this board--you have to go to a site like Flikr or Photobucket---that is what I use--they provide codes to link the photos you have on those sites so you can use them elsewhere on the internet---

I would say that Photobucket is best--because it is more just a general place to host your photos on the web--nothing at all "naughty" is allowed on either site---Flickr is more set up for photo enthusiasts, photo clubs and the like---

Thanks for the other positive comments ya'all!!!

I've got some more photos---this time of a yearly Christmas light display in a township park near my house. In a few days--I intend on going and paying a visit to a place called The Clifton Mill--I have posted up some pics of that mill before--it sits along a narrow river that rushes through a rocky gorge---at this time of the year, the mill and gorge is decorated with over a million lights and has been regularly featured during the holiday season on CNN, MSNBC, FOX and networks from Europe and Japan.

I am going back to this spot to take some more photos---I got there late and they were not long till closing----hope ya enjoy these pics too:

A few more pics--with the last two being of my condo's front courtyard---the first one was just of the lights without much editing--the last one---I pushed up the saturation to the max just to see what came out!!
