West Seattle Christmas lights, 12/5/08

While out admiring the sunset (photos of that are up next), we scouted Christmas lights – and happened onto this house on SW Spokane, east of 58th, on Charlestown Hill (map). The tree is covered with green lights on its trunk, purplish-pink through its branches, echoing one of the prettiest areas of the Point Defiance Zoolights display, so we’re featuring it here. We’ll be out looking at many more in the nights to come; got tips, and/or pix, please e-mail us!

What a lovely photo – evocative and moody; love the contrast of natural vs. artificial light…very well done.

Thank you! We got a slightly better still camera recently, but it’s still a point-n-shoot, and Christmas lights are quite the challenge, but I’m starting to think the trick is to catch them at dusk :)

Sorry, comment time is over.
