Metropolitan Cathedral Guatemala City, Guatemala AP1045424

Sunday Challenge: December Magic A friend of mine invited me to the lighting of her Christmas tree decorated with real candles and antique blown glass ornaments. SC25 A20221215 190626

The Sunday Challenge: Stillness The decorations can't hide the closed stores or the lack of people. The pandemic has wreaked havoc on many businesses and made parts of downtown ghost towns. TSC20211203 120206

The Sunday Challenge: Anything to do with the celebration of the season, be it Yule Tide, Christmas, Winter Solstice or however you honor this time of the year. People gather around the tree at Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston to watch the 2019 edition of Blink, the sound and light show involving the lighting on the trees synchronized to music.

The Saturday Self-Challenge: Anything related to Christmas. These are only a few of the characters in my neighbor's yard that light up at night. Others include a purple octopus, two elephants and a T-Rex. TSSC20191216 112036

The Saturday Self-Challenge: This week let's create our own "Starburst" image. Any light source will work for example, street lights, sun, moon, Christmas lights, candles etc. TSSCIMG 8875

The Sunday Challenge: Post a photograph that relates to the various Winter Celebrations, Customs & Festivals held this time of the year. A display outside of Faneuil Hall in Boston, Massachusetts. TSC20181127 164409

Best wishes for the holidays. AIMG 4440.1

I went for a walk with my new Panasonic ZS-100, intending to test it out shooting bokeh. One of my neighbors has a yard cluttered with garishly lighted Christmas displays, including pigs, Yoda, C-3PO, elephants, snowmen and deer which seemed to be the perfect location. Once I got to the site, I realized that it was too dark to see the buttons and my unfamiliarity with the camera made rather difficult to find the correct settings. After much trial and error, I finally succeeded. AP1000105

The Sunday Challenge: What if each one of us chooses a Christmas card with the wishes texts written in our own langage, and the card being photographed in a place that best represent Christmas spirit for the photographer? I have a new camera and a new version of Photoshop Elements so I thought I would see what I could do with them. The photo is not quite on topic, but it is close. TSCP1000037
