And I caught them in the act, as I was leaving work tonight - late meeting - and the streets were almost deserted ahead of rain. The town of Winchester has gone green with LED lights; they take less energy to power and make a blue white glow on the trees. Some trick of the camera, or perhaps a tic of the photographer captured them shimmering to earth, but these lights are artful even when they're not dancing. They're a Zen garden of light, stranded elegantly over bare branches in the small downtown district. I rather enjoy the tasteful display, but there are other displays of incredibly poor taste which I also enjoy. It's December when elegant and cheesy go side by side all in the name of Christmas.

The Lights have Landed
