Holiday Lights at the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston, Massachusetts, USA


The Faneuil Hall Marketplace offers a free light show during the holiday season called "Blink."  As darkness approaches, folks start to congregate in anticipation. 

The old Custom House tower stands 496 feet tall just beyond the marketplace area where the 86 feet tall Norwegian Spruce tree has been placed.

And lots of folks are out and about, young and old, the youngsters enjoying climbing on the snow piles.

The snow piles help give the area that holiday season feeling.

Yes, it was an unseasonably comfortable temperature that day but - short sleeves and no coat like the man at left? I don't think so. I  had on flannel lined jeans, turtleneck, sweater, parka, and gloves  - yes, I am a cold weather wimp.

Tourists are the same the world over. Stand still and smile. Thirty years from now this will likely be either be a precious memory or lost on the dust heap of time.

Who could ever look at a forest of trees wrapped in tiny lights and not think it beautiful?
