Lights in the Darkness

Once Christmas is over, New Year's Eve is almost forgotten and we have totally recovered, I don't want to feel cold anymore, don't want to see snow, don't want to look at the rain (tough luck on that one) I yearn for the first green leaves and the spring flowers and the weak winter sun smiling from somewhere up there among the clouds (hopefully).

But well, I am perfectly aware that it is far too early for that anyway. There is 3 to 4 more months of cold and rain and possibly frost and snow (depending on where you live, here in Ireland we don't really get snow) 

So what I am going to do is, post some of the images I captured in December and never had the time to show you because I was so outrageously busy baking away at The White Gables. 

The only thing that keeps us going during the long devouring darkness of the long December days and nights is the hopeful and colourful twinkling of all the Christmas decorations everywhere. 

Tell me now, who doesn't like to see Lights in the darkness??!!!

 

I hope you can indulge my weakness for abstract photography and taking photos at low light without tripod. I find the effects rather striking and quite fitting the season of darkness...

A BIT OF CHRISTMAS CHEER

I  needed a bit of cheering up today so I decided to post a few shots I took last Friday in Galway Shopping center. 

I have discovered that at this time of the year looking at Christmas images lifts my spirits up. Well, call me hopelessly romantic or soapy, or old-fashioned or corny ...whatever I don't really mind! I love it and that is that!!


This is the new Christmas decoration of the Gourmet Tart Co. shop window. I think it is really cool and deserves a bit of attention!! Good job and well done guys!! 

The rest of the images are just random captures
 from the Galway Shopping center

thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed a bit of colour !!

THE COLOURS OF GALWAY CITY

Galway is a fabulous city to stroll through on a lovely summer afternoon. 

One of the things that would amaze you the most are the colours! 

This is a collection of images I have had for a while but I think it is time to share.

I used to make post cards with them at some point and they were quite popular 

with the tourists. Now they have a new life here on the blog. 

 Enjoy
