and to you Fons  :) . Interesting perspective  :).  My wish is to be somewhere cold and with an absence of tourists  ;) , not going to happen this year.  We have not one, but two, three day International EDM events between now and New Years.... D.J.s are the new super stars according to my son , Bah Humbug says I  ;D

Only glad to reach out a helping hand, JA :D

But not with pictures from this December as it has been the warmest on record. I see people with shorts in the streets .... My step-daughter called and told me she had enjoyed swimming in the Oslo Fjord yesterday. That's a true Viking spirit to applaud.

Pulling from archives is easier so here you go (actual christmas decorations, captured with 200-400/4 ED and the D200).

Merry Christmas to everyone.
And no snow either in Paris, I even have dendelions blossoming in my garden... I know Bjørn would be all over it with a UV camera...

A few years back, December over here was bitterly cold. That's the difference between 'weather' and 'climate' in a nutshell.

Still spring here in the Rhine Valley. Last day of Christmas Market and I have ignored it so far....
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Same here.  This year we had snow fall on January 1st here in Tokyo, but I don't even know if we would have any snow at all.

Anyway, I wish all of you happy holidays and prosperous 2016!

Done fully in-camera. lens is the Noct-Nikkor working its magic. Perhaps something else was involved too?
