Wednesday Walk Signs of Christmas in the Historic District

This post if for Wednesday walk challenge
Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)

Good Morning
This past week I have not walked much for a variety of reasons the shots I share today are from my last walk and perhaps appropriate as we are approaching Christmas, the city has decorated the downtown Historic district nicely and I took an early morning walk in the area to see and catch some shots of the lights.

I didn't get a shot of the main Christmas tree as I took this walk the day of the tree lighting, I planned to go back in the evening for a festive stroll event they had one, but instead I was at the walk in clinic as I had a bad sinus infection and could not ignore it anymore, but thankfully the antibiotics dealt with that

I didn't get the main tree but I did see this one opposite from the port

Weekly giveaway of shares

This week I am sending to the following who joined Wednesday Walk, for this week I did a random draw and the following each received some Hive @xerox94 @friendlymoose @vanessakor, @amiegeoffrey @avdesing @thefootprint

Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.

This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines

Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.

Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.

Try and get a few shots not just one

Add a bit of a write up about where you walked

Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week

You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.

Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss

Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .

Following me and re-Hiving the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion.

I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules

I will try and visit, and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk.

I hope a few of you may find this an interesting challenge and decide to join in.

unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

The gazebo looks so nice! It’s a bit surprising that they still had the lights on for that christmas tree when it’s early morning. Does that mean the lights were on the entire night? In here, they usually turn it off when it’s closing time or after midnight.

Thank you very much for the mention and the support you give me, thank you very much! I appreciate it very much!

On the other hand this walk is really beautiful and when there are no people you can appreciate the lights in a different way, it's wonderful, thank you!✨

That's just about the most perfect representation of a small town Christmas I can imagine. The streets and lights look amazing all lit up! What a beautiful area you live in! I wish you continued luck with all of your medical stuff.

thanks they sure have decorated it beautifully
I did plan to go back now that the city hall tree is lit, but with having sinus infections and the cold temp I have bene sensible and not going out for walks

I know the surgery is still just over 6 weeks away and maybe i could risk it now but my wife is stressed enough about it I dont want to do anything that stresses her out more

and I still havent got an appointment with the cardiologist for his check and clearance pre surgery sso who knows if the date will stay the same

Nice shots of Christmas lights. I always like the arches over the street. It always feels like main street in small town America to me. Glad the antibiotics worked for you 👍

The historic district is looking beautiful in different colors from yellow to green and to red colors. The walkway in the darkness is such a therapy to heart.
Here is my entry for Wednesday walk. It was leisure walking in hills where serene setting was holding my heart.

Glad the antibiotics helped and you feel better!
Always love seeing your photos from Christmas. I still remember in a previous Christmas related post (don't remember from which year) you had taken a picture of a very snowy street. It's still stuck in my head.

Get well soon!

The winter isn't your best friend at these times. When you feel better, there'll be snowy days to capture stress-free ;)
