Christmas 2025: Merchandising S*** Show
Christmas sales have kicked off, and you even can change your toilet area into a Christmas atmosphere. If it is tasteful? I am not sure about that.

Merry Christmas
On the eve of Christmas a colorful rose, wishing everybody a merry Christmas. And I can’t resist to put a wish under it from the heart, quoting John Lennon: war is over, just imagine. In 2025 be your own truth, people are not meant to be all the same. One of the joys in life is that we are different, and being different creates the potential for change. As long as we can listen to one another, knowing there is the freedom to choose your own believes and live them without being a threat to the other, there is a future and lots of potential. Love, laugh (especially about yourself), live.

Tubular Bells
The week towards Christmas there was a beautiful light event in the grounds of Walmer Castle, with a lighted installation that made sounds like tubular bells. A visit in the early evening for LAPC #284 ‘day&night’.

Lights
The theme for this week’s Lens-artists Photo Challenge #176 is One image/one story. That theme matches the subject of my photo blog: What’s (in) the picture? Finding stories. Photo’s tell stories. My story (what made me click my shutter), and the story of the spectator, as I wrote earlier.

Blue
Christmas is coming. Some people can’t wait to set up their gardens with light figures. Here is one I would consider, if I would decorate the garden. For this week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #175 Follow your bliss.

Merry Christmas
Christmas is about light, shining in the dark, a promise of possibilities, of new events. Small sparks that may turn into the brightness of a beautiful sun, offering warmth, comfort, trust, security, well being and new life.
I wish you lots of light in the coming year, to see and observe the difference between the light and the darkness, to embrace and accept them both as parts of our life.
This year’s last Lens-Artists Challenge (#128) is ‘And here comes the holiday season………..’

Not the 2017 Favourite – Christmas Selfie (Leftover 5)
The last weekly photo challenge is ‘2017 Favourite’. Share the most meaningful photo that I have taken in 2017. Well, that is tough: which one of the odd 365 photo’s to choose? A lot of them are special to me, meaningful, but it might be that I did not publish my most meaningful photo of 2017 on my blog. So I am taking my own direction in this theme: I am not going to choose. My personal theme this week will be about photo’s that are leftovers of 2017. And they all are meaningful to me as well. I hope you do not mind. I will post this first photo to the theme page. And the rest as straight posts the coming days. Wishing all of you a happy, merry Christmas and fabulous 2018.
