My fingers are frozen, but I’m wrapped in jacket and scarf and knitted cap and otherwise pretty comfortable.
I’ve “planned” for years to visit Tilles Park during the annual light show. I’ve never planned early enough though. On drive through nights, drivers can just line up and pay at the gate, but carriage rides and walk through nights take reservations that are extremely popular and rapidly sold out.
This year, I discovered a photography night, sponsored by Schiller’s Camera.
For a reasonable class registration, the park is open exclusively for the purpose of wandering through with cameras and tripods and lenses.
Soft holiday music piped in, lends to the quiet peace of the night without overshadowing it.
There are a lot of people, and a lot of tripods. After the initial congestion just outside the parking lot though, it’s easy to spread out and enjoy the displays.
A river of lights winds through the center of the park,
while around the edges, Santa’s workshop is building
and wrapping and packing to beat the supply chain woes.
Of course, no St Louis event could ever be complete without the Cardinals…
…or the Blues.
Rambling ...
