2022 December 13: All the Blurry Shots from the Xmas Lights Village

I was pleased to throw in a $40 donation to the Burn Unit, so we could feel really good about our time looking at the Xmas Village of Bright Lights in Stanley Park, last night. These are all the worst shots, I'm not even keeping them.

But, the thing about this kind of picture is, I'm not sure that the blur doesn't make it better!

I do have sharp shots of some of the displays, but since we leave tomorrow, I can just show you them myself on your TV!

But these are just so full of colour, they're fun even when blurred.

That last is not the Xmas village, of course. On the way home, we saw Canada Place all lit up, and I tried four shots, all failures. But, again, still looks cool.
