The Christmas lights of Wivenhoe – as seen through a very snowy F717 lens.

And so having braved the heavy snow (ooh – get you) for the Christmas Craft Fair at St Mary’s on Thursday evening, I found myself wandering back uptown with a camera and some rather lovely picture postcard style scenes.

Seeing as though the main event of the evening was the *ahem* turning on off the Wivenhoe Christmas lights, you can see see where this post is heading…

I underestimated the power of a snowflake in managing to slightly distort an image. They may appear beautiful and unique in all of those children books, but when blown up in Photoshop, what you see is what you get – a great big blob of white.

I should have really ventured beyond the Loveless Hall and towards the top of the town. The Horse and Groom, The Flag, and yep, even the Co-op have some Christmas lights worthy of a photoblog post.

But that’s for another day, maybe.

Curiosity, everyone’s favourite second hands good shop on the corner.

Bengal Spice – something hot for the cold weather.

LOVE this little fella, and the care and attention that the folk in the toy shop take in dressing him each morning.

Laurel and Hardy outside the Post Office.

Chin chin.

The Town Council offices.

Much love for the snowy Loveless Hall.
