I was thinking this afternoon that I might drive into town and take a few photos of the hustle and bustle of a Friday evening in the ‘burg.  They’ve decorated for Christmas … if it were December, I’d be in the mood to photograph the decorated lamp-post, etc.  But having the decorations up now isn’t a celebration of Christmas … just part of the commercialization of Christmas.   So I thought for a moment about where else to go.  That is was mid-November was at the front of my mind and I remembered that one of the local icons usually closes about this time of year and re-opens toward the end of February.  So I decided to go photograph that particular icon.
