Christmas in pictures

We went to see Fantasy of Lights Night Parade in Tempe today. What a dissapointment! The show started late with a single tiny boat making a first round and a 10 minute break before the rest of the very slow sad little boats with hardly any lights on quietly floated on the still waters of Tempe Town Lake. We left early in great dissappointment and instead took pictures of downtown Tempe.

Tempe Bridge with a beautiful moon rising above it:


The new monorail travels on top of this bridge. They were conducting practice runs tonight: Another view of the lights on the bridge:

Love the Tempe pictures...I need you to show me how to use the external flash to get the good night pictures.

The colored lights on the bridge are really nice shots! I didn't see that myself--but I am definitely amused that something of that sort was done.
