Thank you all who participated in the November contest (you can place your vote > here <)! Let's start with DECEMBER contest!

Theme:
The contest theme for this month is "CHRISTMAS LIGHTS/DECORATION"!
I'm sure everyone here have at least one "Christmas lights" photo? Of course, you can replace "Christmas" with any festive decoration/lightning based on your religious, regional or cultural background.

Rules:
You may post one photo right in reply to this post. Please, do not link them from other sites! Use the "Upload Attachment" instead.
Contest photo must be taken with Ricoh camera!
The max size of the photo is limited to 1024x768 and the file must contain EXIF!
Please guys, make sure your photo contains EXIF! Entries without EXIF will be disqualified!
Ricoh film camera entries (without EXIF) are allowed, but only from people with previous forum activity and history (some previously posted Ricoh photos).

The deadline for posting contest photos is 31.12.2009 at 12PM forum time

Here you can learn how to upload (please, do not link) the photos right in forum post...

Well, it's almost Christmas here in Sydney, we will soon experience 35+C temperatures, and some people around here take the festivities pretty seriously.
There is one street that almost everyone take part in lighting their houses up, this is one of the brightest ones...

My favorite Christmas decorations are those huge ones where we can go inside. :eek:

Just like this one in my city (probably I won't be able to take some shot's this year :roll: so here goes one from 2008)



This had some artificial snow coming down every minute, so it was a kind of an "hit and run" situation :mrgreen:

This was the first 'skyscraper' to be built in Vienna. It has a pole with lights on its roof which flashes in various ways in green, red and white to show what weather is coming next. In the last few years it has also a net of lights draped around one corner in the shape of a christmas tree.

The venue for our Christmas Party was held at The Coconut Palace in Manila. This is one of their main decors for the holiday season. This palace is made out mostly of coconut shells, coconut lumbers, and different variety of Philippine hardwoods.

Black Ricoh, I love your backyard photo - what light is that a photo of, hanging above your tree? The moon? A neighbor's lamp?

Thanks! Yes right, it is the moon in dark time. It is sad that "warm" light comes from right side (from the street) and makes second shadow, because I didn't want it.
