Merry Christmas !, a photo from British Columbia, Western

Photographer's Note

I wish i could send out Christmas gifts to all my TE friends all over the world!

Viewing all of your photos in far out places has been a blast, and I look forward to seeing alot more!

I want to thank all of you that have taken the time to view my photos, and written critiques - i know it takes alot of effort, and its appreciated.

This is an outdoor Christmas Tree decorated in Blue Lights (how fitting for me huh!) and with other coloured lights in the BG. All i did was zoom in and out during the exposure.

Merry Xmas everyone!
Craig
