Big Bow

I'm not sure why, but I like this shot. Christmas decorations in a retail center in Houston. It was a little warm even by Houston standards (70 degrees or so) for taking pictures of Christmas decorations, but that's life in Texas.

It is a very pleasing picture to look at. Very calm but expressive colours.

Good picture. For an evening shot it has nice exposure balance and composition, hardly needs the bow to make interesting.

I like this one. Beautiful colors and the lights are just wonderful. Good job.

This is true, but I love that bow.

You can see another bow across the street on another building. There is also a big ribbon on another building in this shopping center. These are some of my favorite Christmas decorations in Houston.

^^ditto, the bow just adds something really cool to it.

This could be a perfect photo for my challenge over in the "Semi Scavanger Hunt Game" in the Themes, which is "Unusual Christmas" (just for example...)

Snow? What's snow? :?:

I was serious when I said it was 70 outside this weekend when I was out taking pictures. It's usually not quite that warm, but we definitely don't get snow.

I can't imagine Houston in the snow. You should see us in the ice! You northerners would laugh and laugh. The whole city practically shuts down. Cold here is 40. When it gets to 30 the news stations flash up their "Danger" graphics. You know the ones..... the OMG its 30!!! Look out!!

Thanks everyone for your comments.
