I went to the Christmas Light lighting ceremony at the Arkansas State Capitol this year. It's the first time I've been. It was cold, but I still had a lot of fun. Actually the joy I felt as a kid during the holiday season resurfaced for a brief time. My face was numb but I still know I was smiling. There's something to be said about free hot chocolate, friends, Christmas music, and decorations.
Here's one from Eureka Springs. This was taken inside the Crescent Hotel. Rumor is the hotel is haunted. People run around with cameras trying to capture orbs. I actually got a few myself, but they were light reflections off the ceiling fan. I still sort of believe in that stuff and would love to stay there overnight.
I went back to the Arkansas State Capitol to capture the holiday decorations inside. Even in the middle of the day on a weekday I'd have to patiently wait for quite a while for areas to clear out. These decorations are pretty popular. The Capitol is beautiful as it is, but with decorations it really shines!
I wanted a picture of the trolley in front of the Capital Hotel and Stephens Inc. for a while now. The light or sky was always wrong. This day I hadn't even planned that shot, but the trolley happened by when I was there so I finally got the shot!
The Glory Hole is an amazing place. I spent part of Christmas Eve there, and it really was glorious.
just finished going through all of your best of posts..... you had a great year!
