The Cul de Sac of Lights

Riverside drive has one of the most incredible light displays I have ever seen.  I made my way to the street in mid December hoping to catch a street without cars and aiming to be there before the caravan of cars made it down.  I was in luck and tried numerous angles to capture the light display but none seemed to capture the magic and awe of the display.
