Christmas and the New Year (January 3, 2016)

 I have never enjoyed a Christmas time as much as I enjoy Christmas in Richmond, VA. The famous "Tacky Light Tour" as they call it brings out people in cars, buses, touring limos and even one night for me, on my motorcycle! Some of the houses are just nothing short of remarkable and I have four examples here for your viewing pleasure. Take this one at left for example.....  

This is on a small creek, and is always (or at least has been for the time I have been here in Richmond) a very beautiful sight.  

These houses are owned by two related families, and is one of the most popular stops on the tour. Just an amazing sight and one that I have been a few times during the holiday. There is just so much to see that it is hard to take it all in on one stop. I cant imagine what the electric bill is on these houses.  

Finally there is this house near me in the Oregon Hill section of Richmond. If you get the chance say in December (many of them do not light up till early December though some are as early as Thanksgiving) I can really recommend you check some of these out. You can find a list at the Richmond.com website under the "Tacky Light Tour".
I do hope that everyone visiting these pages had a very good New Year and that 2016 is a wonderful time for you and yours.
Looking forward to bringing you some good photos of this very interesting city in the year to come.
