We have a tradition of visiting two local train gardens sometime during the Christmas season. It’s a tradition that my grandparents started with my mom decades ago.
When I was a photography student in high school, the train garden (especially the one at the fire house where the lights cycle on and off) was one of my favorite places to shoot. The lighting was challenging and the subject matter changed each year. Except Waldo. He’s almost always there to find.
It’s fun when the content chosen reflects other favorite traditions. #GrinchReading.
Over a decade later, some things never change. It’s still a great venue to practice technical photography.
