I live in a small town in central MA - little green common in the middle, church and bandstand - the works. They lit the bandstand up this year, so tonight, Christmas Eve, I took 30mins away from the family and stood at the side of the road shivering in 25f to get this :)

Very nice shot. You picked just the right time to get the Christmas lights and still have some twilight in the sky. Well done!

Thanks - I was actually shooting all through sunset until I was simply too cold to stay outside! This was the last shot of the evening.

Thanks everyone - I'm really pleased with how this came out - I rarely do anything other than portrait photography, so it was a nice change!
