Photo by Kel Kyle

I took this on the same night as 12:17 and was expecting a completely different result.  

The backstory…every year our neighbors down the road put up this display in their front yard.  Now that seems completely ”normal” but…their display is actually a rubber boat, with two blow up dolls (adorned with santa hats only) being pulled by reindeer.  Wait it gets better…behind the boat are two 12 packs of Corona beer on a rope.  I swear I’m not making this up!  Never a dull moment living in the south LOL…

I suspect the outcome of this photo is because I was nervous taking this shot as I had to stand in their front yard and their curtains were open.  I could see their TV on (I’m not the only night owl on the road apparently) and I felt like a spotlight was on me.  I think it’s safe for me to attribute some of the light trails to my own shakey hand.  Although I practice shots that look like this alot LOL…Regardless of how it came to be, I have decided this will be my “official” holiday photo post!  

DD: The only digital darkroom was taking the brightness down a bit and cropping the top and bottom.
