    So pretty, but not something I'd ever expect at a cemetery.

    There's enough lights to wake up the dead. Oh stop me! I like how you were able to bring out the star effect on each light in your header photo. I think a very small apeture does that, no?

    I'd never expect this at a cemetery, but why shouldn't those resting enjoy the lights?

    Quite surprising. Aren't they a bit too festive for a cemetery?

    I'm not quite sure the bottlecap mosaic Nativity counts as a mural. It's pretty small—only 3x5 feet.

    Great! There are a couple of big lighting displays around here, but I haven't been out to see them in a couple of years. This scene is first-rate.

    Lovely view - noticed yesterday that the cost of holly wreaths had gone up from £3.95 to £5

    I can't tell you how jealous I am that you live close enough to visit that place regularly. I had no idea they did a Christmas display - on my list of must do's for sure.

    Wow. I love the idea of a lighted Christmas train traveling through a cemetery. This makes me want to drive up the road and see if there is anything to be found at our local cemetery.

    My goodness, this is a cemetery?? It's hard to imagine anything more different to a Scottish cemetery!
