Description

On Dec. 25th I went to downtown in Houston, looking for the traditional Christmas lights decorations, but seriously, the downtown was looking more like an abandoned city than a city on Christmas Day. Just a very few walkers, some more homeless dudes, and that's it! Then my brother proposed Galleria, a town next to Houston, a place where he said is inhabited by rich people and for sure the City Hall spent more money to put some Christmas decorations on streets. And he was right! When I got back home, I had to do some work on this one, transferring those lit trees (that are on sidewalk and median) from another shot, then added the moon... I know it's far from a perfect shot, but I hope you gonna like it... Oh, and one more thing: being away from home, due to my job, I'm not always able to answer y'all! And a joke for the cold season! Did you hear about the two blondes who froze to death in a drive-in movie? They had gone to see "Closed for the Winter"!

For a moment I thought, Christmas was just around the corner again... happy, happy, joy ,joy... and why shouldn't everyday be like Christmas ? You really did a fantastic job with the manipulations in this shot,the big bad moon added an extra dimension to it! BB p.s. here is a blonde joke for you: "How do you know, if a blonde has been using your computer ? You find correction fluid on the screen !"

I remember when the Galleria was built and I went once...but it was full of very expensive shops and even a postcard was out of my range. This is lovely and you did a great job putting it together.

How amazing! I had no idea that this was a photomanipulation, which just goes to show what I know... I love the clarity of this and that moon really makes this shot. For some reason it reminds me of a "Seasonal" photograph I used to see in the long vanished pages of OMNI Magazine...STILL my favorite magazine, though it's no longer in existence. Great work!
