Photo shows the spectacular Christmas lights like a vanopy over the street. The theme in 2025 is the "Nativity of Light" with glowing medallions and huge LED displays.

Oops, I lied! Just had a reminder from fb that not only did I put the santa hat on Hvítserkur, I did this one last year as well! 😂 Have 'an ice' #WeekXforXmas one and all, and see you on the Yummy side!

A figure stands dressed in black on ice with his back to us, observing some very blue ice formations and a snow dusted slope in the background. A santa hat has been added to him and his reflection on the wet ice

Our 1st ever trip to #Iceland in Oct'16, we took Santa hats for a wintry pic for the Dec page for the in-laws' calendar! So here are Bjúgnakrækir & Stúfur at Sólheimajökull, & this pic is the one I lifted the hats from to use for Hvítserkur! 🎅 #AlphabetChallenge

Two smiling white teenage girls standing with Sólheimajökull in the background. On the left, looking cold without a coat on, 'Sausage-Swiper' wears a Capt America tee over a thermal, and ski trousers, her santa hat is blown upright by the wind. Her sister, 'Stubby', stands proudly holding her coat open to show her red facehugger tshirt. The black ground around them looks like they're on another planet

Also, this adds to the ever-changing view I call my #utilitypole collection as seen from my deck. 😉

Cranes for the #Christmas season lookin' festive all over #Vancouver 😊

#BC #Canada 🇨🇦 #photography 📷 #travel ✈️ #cityscape #clouds #mountains #crane #lights #Xmas 🎄
A view of a massive crane by night against a dark and moody grey and white cloudy sky with the mountains and distant city lights at their base. The crane is covered in green Christmas lights, with some red peaking at the top. There is a utility pole to the left, and the outline of three giant fir trees in the foreground peeking high above hint of a roof of a condo block. The trees are looking very dark almost as if silhouetted. Extra info: For the most part, cranes are decorated for the Christmas season & can be viewed from all over the city & the North Shore. The tradition in Vancouver began when Val Coupal lit up the first Christmas crane in the city. Within a few years, many crane operators in the Lower Mainland followed suit. 😊

Festive Crane

Dunno if they do this elsewhere, but in #Vancouver its customary to decorate cranes with lights. This one made the news for nearly collapsing and shutting down the road & part of the train system for a day.

A view of a massive construction crane at night off in the distance behind fir trees and an office building. A hint of orange shows the crane's colour, but it is decked out completely with red Christmas lights, and a red beacon on top.

A Very Berry Christmas.

Snapped these newer addition trees to the perimeter of our local park/playing fields at dusk last night. I think the 2nd one looks like a chicken 🐓

A makeshift deck on top of a garage that is attached to an unseen house. There is a corrugated plastic roof under branches of trees. Under that there are beams of wood and what look to be two giant green wooden planters that appear to be substituting for walls of a deck. There are a number of small pot plant planters that are both hanging from the roof as well sitting on top of the large planters. They are dried up, and the entire image looks like a mess. There is however a large Christmas candy cane ornament attached to the wrought iron fencing on the steps that lead up to the deck. Underneath the steps there is what looks to be a boarded up garage door. Phew! A lot going on.

Meandering through the neighbourhood today instead of the dog park, I smiled noticing someone had taken the time to replenish the bare branches of a tree along an obscure & overgrown public pathway.
