Most of the houses put up their colourful lights and displays for all the visitors that will be passing thru come sundown, and as usual there were a lot of people driving and walking through the street with their kids/family/dogs in tow, as they do each and every year.
this year a few more of the houses had some lights up as last year we were down a few as houses were sold or owners were on holidays. but the amount of people coming to see these displays didn't slow down, in fact i think it may have increased although they do seem to finish earlier each year, and this year we didn't have a bbq on the lawn as usual. so we just ate before and parked our chairs up inside our little area out the front of the house.

(and just for the photogs out there, i took these shots using a Nikon D7000 on a tripod with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle lens using F3.5 iso 800 and around 1sec exposure, the early ones are slightly different, but not much, and cropped accordingly. also i used Lr to edit them)
so there you have it for another year, seems to be a trend now. this makes it 3yrs running that I've done a blog on xmas lights in this street. lets hope i can continue it!
OO-roo! DB
dont forget, the photos are 'clickable for large size viewing ;)
