These beautiful images have stayed in my mind....the light against the night sky...cobalt blue is the perfect color to describe it. I love cities at night, especially at Christmas and Boston sure does not disappoint. Love peeking into that Beacon hill townhouse...conjures up a line from the poem by Clement Clarke Moore...all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.<br />anniel o v e l y t h i n g shttp://mostlovelythings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-2135545629013715042012-12-23T09:42:02.709-05:002012-12-23T09:42:02.709-05:00Such lovely photos, Steve.
