The rain let up yesterday afternoon so I joined a lot of other Victorians Christmas shopping downtown. The DVBA (Downtown Victoria Businessmen's Association) provides wandering groups of carolers for music in the streets as in the photo above. In the Bay Centre mall the classy duo below rendered some smooth variations on Christmas themes for shoppers. Though it was a Sunday, many people were out trying to avoid that last minute rush.
I like your photo :)
ReplyDeleteYour neutral density filters could create some interesting effects here, i.e. 'ghost' shoppers while maintaining the strong image of the frosty trees in the background.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to get downtown this week for some window display photos.
Aside from the Empress Hotel and the Grand Pacific, I think the Laurel Point Inn is doing some sort of Christmas display in its lobby too, but I forget the theme.
How festive! I would like to go to Victoria in Dec. one of these days to see the decorations and the lights at Butchart Gardens.
ReplyDelete~ Just hear those cash registers ching-a-ling, ching-ching,ching-a-ling too ~
ReplyDeleteThere are some nice new lighted ornamental trees around the waterfront this year.
How nice to see carolers out and about! Very festive.
