A Snapshot Away

Hello again - a snapshot around town - main aim a picture for camera club - subject Xmas lights. A late afternoon walk around town (Shrewsbury)and these were the outcome.
I  could not resist this shot I love lanterns

 

- taken outside the Golden Cross in Milk Street

As we approached the main centre of Shrewsbury - we passed by this passageway leading to St Alkmunds Square and gazed back along the Wyle Cop

 

Walking around we took random shots - my header pic is taken in the Shrewsbury Market Square - with  the Charles Darwin statue in the foreground - I like this part of town it is full of atmosphere - Wyle Cop the picture above - click on the pic for more detail and a better view - again  late of an evening the Cop comes alive with visions of the past it does not take a great imagination to visualise how it was back  in the day

 

Picture hunting has been the order of the day this past week - so several excursions have been made into Shrewsbury - some time was spent down by the river and although these pictures are not Christmas lights - well I am going to post them

 

 The night was cold but the colours and reflections on the water were perfect

 

 In the background you can see the church tower of St Chads - we walked on up there - they have a decorated christmas tree event - the church looked spectacular 

 

 

 

Walking down again to the main shopping streets - these were the shots we took - Pride Hill lights

 

 this year there has been a new addition a giant reindeer

 

A close up

 

Well I doubt we have taken a winner but we had a fun time !!

 Best wishes
