Merry Christmas everyone!  And could you ask for a more festive scene than Marblehead Lighthouse lit up with lights?  I was out shooting at sunset on Sunday night and, when the lights faded, decided to head out to Chandler Hovey Park to photography the lighthouse lit up for the season.  The park was empty on this cold night and I decided to use the same compositions as a recently shared photo with snow on the ground

Hope you have a wonderful day!
