Good Good Good - Santa Claus is... Chinese?! 🎅🎅🎅

Seeing as we're in the home stretch of the festive season, I thought it would be a timely to share some fun musings I wrote last year on Christmas Day  (some bits may not have entirely aged that well tho 😅)

Since I guessed that most folk would've been offline then, I decided to hold off posting it till the run-up to Christmas this year, so more folks may get to see it in a more timely way. So, here we go!  Hoping everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  🎅🎅🎅

Santa Parade 2015

Just a few photos from the Christchurch Santa Parade held this afternoon.This year I didn't stay for the whole parade, but just popped by for a short time in the middle.

 

Season's Greetings - Christmas Tree

Here's a small selection of shots showing parts of our tree this year :)

I've been having a lot of fun playing around with varying levels of focal blur and interesting angles to capture some of the interesting ways that light was interacting with the various shiny things on the tree - the particular twinkling "snazzle" of the tinsel is still something rather elusive to capture though!
