A little more from last weekend when we were out and about much of the time
enjoying the fine days during the Christmas rush.
Saturday was warm, sunny, near to perfect, and downtown called to us.
We headed out to walk late afternoon unencumbered by heavy accessories.
No jackets or bulky bags, just a scarf in case it turned cooler, comfy walking shoes,
and my iPhone to snap a few pix along the way as dusk fell gently over the
bulky city buildings and cheerful shoppers.
Many people, casually dressed, were on their way to restaurants - it was Christmas
party time. Others, elegant in sparkly high heels and pretty dresses, bow ties
and tuxedos, were strolling toward the auditorium for an evening concert with the
North Carolina Symphony.
The blend of old and new architecture strung together by symbols of the season.
Even commercial buildings, such as these banks, make an effort to warm up
those big blank spaces at Christmas.
Do you enjoy visiting a bright and bustling downtown area during the holiday season?
