Lights, sparks and forgotten things.

The lights that city hall puts out in the streets for the holiday season is one the best things to shoot! There is no snow around here, winters are mostly rainy and windy, not many colours either. So it is nice thing to see.

And practice bokeh :)

No matter what you shoot, with the right lens the world look like a colorful bubbly place

This is part of a giant Christmas Tree which is basically a pile of lights. Looks cool from a distance, but from up close it's much more photogenic :)

But as soon as you put the camera down it goes back to this misty dark evening with people wrapped up in jackets.

I saw sparks...

Bonus song for today:
Coldplay - Sparks
year 2000

I woke up today with this one in my head. I haven't been listening to Coldplay in years. Where did it come from?
No clue.
Some songs just like to remind us about their existence :)

"Parachutes" is the first studio album from the band. I recommend listening to the whole thing. It's pretty mellow...
And I am sure most will know "Yellow" song, which to me is not the best of the bunch, but it was definitely a hit back then.

Beautiful pictures!
Someone walked the streets, while others were very busy :-)

Bardzo ładne zdjęcia. Ferie zimowe mogą naprawdę przynieść wiele dobrych wrażeń.

Dziekuje!

Yummi lill macaroons, lovely bokeh 😍

Now I want macaroons!! 🤤

Nah, only mushrooms for you 😝

Oh come on!!
Not fair...

YES!!! music is here again.. it has been a long since your last bonus song :))

Matches perfectly the vibe of forgotten things... 💛

Yeaaa.. I don't know how it happened that I kept forgetting about the Bonus songs 🙈.
Trying to fix that :)

Oh! And this is one of the posts that was made to match the song. Not the other way round.
(and now I am listening to it again and it will be stuck in my head all day long... again..)

Yay, matching the photos and the story to music!!! 🎶🎶

Ok, I can give it one more listening before I start my other music stuff listening, this will come in handy!
P.S. play button pressed 😇

Love these light photos and bokas.

Listening to the song now. It is not familiar to me. :)

All those light are so calming to me for some reason...

Hope you enjoyed it :)

Some great great shots there.

Thanks a lot! :)

@ewkaw i am jealous of how you managed to edit that using photoshop!! it amazes me a lot!!, jeeezz i need to learn more, i've searched and tried to check the price on the website but it is too expensive for me to pay monthly .

I wonder if there is an available one or hack where I can be able to learn even the basics of photoshops.

Let me know. Cheers and enjoy your holiday! :))

Thank you! Those are actually hardly edited. Mainly just cropped and added a bit of contrast. You can probably get a free photo editor that can do the same thing :) Doesn't have to be Photoshop.

Have a lovely holiday as well :)

true talent and what a beauty, I would look further to some sites where I will be able to enhance my images. Thank you for the suggestion @ewkaw.

Have a wonderful holiday! :)

Those photos are so beautiful, it catches my eyes 👏

Thank you :)

Despite the fact that there is no snow on your streets, but there is rain, you skillfully manage to focus on the bright lights. A great way to feel the festive atmosphere as the new year approaches. The music goes well with the photographs. It turned out atmospheric..☺️
