On the night that the 2009 Christmas lights were turned on, I wandered around a few of Bedfords landmark features to capture them at night with the unusual hustle of people instead in vacant streets. Of course, several people asked to appear in the images and so here they are! I did ask them to stand very still due to the one or two second exposure times so any fuzziness is not my doing - its them moving!

The new "faces" sculpture at the top of Silver Street is stunning in daylight but with the permanent uplighters even more so. I think it is a tad large for the setting but I still really like them :-) Well done its creator, Rick Kirby. The almost as recent sculpture near the Town Bridge commemorating the 1st generation Italians arriving here is also really nice but the location is not really fitting and there is no illumination. I hope this gets moved to a better location at some point.

Addendum - Images added from December 2010 in the snow ;-)

ENJOY!
