x-mas in the city

I haven't posted in this gallery for quiet some time. So here's a shot I took about two weeks ago in Solothurn/Switzerland. I wanted to capture the holiday decoration but my intention also was to show how people are stressed and busy in the pre-christmas time.

This is a lovely shot, seemingly radiating a lot of winter warmth. But I could sure do without the blurred people.

I like how the blurred people convey your 'busy' pre-Christmas theme Roland.
Nice warm colors too. Love the cobblestones, city lights, and overall scene a lot

I like the blurred people as well. It nicely conveys the rush you want to portray.

Agree with the blurred people. It works.

Beautiful work. And, it does convey the feeling of the season's rush.
