This is from Zoo Lights at the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma, WA. I met another photographer there that told me to fog up the lens to get a semi-blurred effect on the lights. It was a lot of fun and created some cool effects, thought it was hit or miss. I also photoshoped in a flash of another photographer which allowed me to create my stars.

NYC - Brooklyn - Dyker Heights: Christmas Lights 2008 - Toyland
Originally uploaded by wallyg

Every year the residents of the largely Italian-American Dyker Heights, in the southwest corner of Brooklyn, convert their front porches and yards into extravagant Christmas light displays. The "miracle mile" of outer borough Christmas lights can be found on 84th Street between 10th and 12th Avenues. Each year, as many as 100,000 visitors trek along to the Heights to see everything from large-scale Disney balloons to neon-lit manger scenes to mall Santas to a monumental Santa and toy soldiers.

In 2000, Conan O'Brien filmed a remote for Late Night with Conan O'Brien in Dyker Heights. The PBS-televised documentary "Dyker Lights", produced in 2001 told the story of the neighborhood's annual tradition.

And even though she's not Jewish, Heather feels that it's important that we light the menorah, and she enjoys doing that with me. And I enjoy listening to her try to say the Hanukkah blessing.

The Weight of Christmas
Originally uploaded by -Faizal-

Well, I thought this was about the best Christmas tree on the block. So, I took a picture of it.
Since coming home for the holidays, it's been too cold to go out to take photos - had to be content with taking pix of the family and just finding other things to do...But tonight, I was going a little stir-crazy and decided to brave the weather and see what I could catch. What do you think?
I wanted to title this simply "Merry Christmas" but in light of (haha) the recent snow surplus, I thought "wieght" might be more appropriate.

Merry Christmas!

The view here is from the steps of Federal Hall, looking across Wall Street and south (sort of) on Broad Street. The neoclassical building on the right, whose illuminated columns form an American flag, is the New York Stock Exchange; its facade was designed by George B. Post. The building, which opened in 1903, is a National Historic Landmark, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
