Default Nottingham Christmas Lights 2009
A couple of images of the Christmas lights in Nottingham City Center, taken while we visited the Annual German Christmas Market. Night time images are not my forte. Just wanted to give you a taste.

Town Hall Lights.

Very nice! I just found out a friend's sister is over in Nottingham area all the way from Quesnel, BC, Canada just recently - been looking through her photos and I have to say, you have a very lovely area to live in.

Also - the lights shots are very lovely! Great capture of the lights against the night.

I just love the second one. I've been trying to capture some of the lights here without much success.

Nice shots David. Been too busy with Christmas Parties (other peoples ) to see any Christmas lights yet. Must try to get out next week.
