So Friday after the boys' basketball practice we ended up downtown for the Dickens of a Christmas ...after meeting Christian and his girlfriend Alyssa at the Hotel Roanoke we ended up catching the tail end of the parade, literally. Here's Santa. My camera wasn't ready for night shots and the photo turned out with a ghostly blur so I messed with it on Ribbet and you know how much I love the "True Vintage" edit :D Well, I don't know, I like it...not very Christmas-y I guess, more Halloween-y!
Like an image from the movie "Scrooge" starring Albert Finney and Alec Guinness. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo vintage...
ReplyDeleteI think it intriguing.
ReplyDeletewell, maybe 'ghost of christmas past'. :)
ReplyDeleteSort of your version of a 'nightmare before Christmas'?
ReplyDeleteHaha! Loved the comments above.. You created a fab vintage image Tanya, nice work!
ReplyDeleteIt does have a ghostly feel to it!
ReplyDeleteSo agree with Tex--perhaps it's a ghost of Christmas past. Cool save of the photo!
ReplyDeleteOh my GOSH!!! I have never seen anything like this, it is kind of other worldly. Like something that happened long ago, and we can see it materialize only for a moment. The man in the front actually looks kind of like a ghost. With all the Christmas fuss going on, I had forgotten about Ribbit, now I will visit TONIGHT!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'd guess the parade was a lot of fun, or at least the tail of it was. And you did a good job of making this an interesting photo!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I need to try this too!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to see this . . One of the things i miss around this time is the Dickens Fair. There isn't anything like it where i am now . . . just the photo and reminder made my heart glad, Happy Season of Light to YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's cool!
ReplyDeleteI like it! Nice!
ReplyDeletethat is wild - but i enjoy it!! great and wonder if that will ever happen for ya ever again?? neat-o!! ( :
ReplyDeleteCort is supposed to dance at Dickens this weekend. Not sure what will happen with the weather though.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you can recover a photo with processing like this. It looks like it is old.
ReplyDeleteAnd, my house in German Village was originally built in 1870, but around 2000 the entire interior was gutted and a rear sunroom was added. More than half of the homes in the neighborhood retain their vintage exteriors but have had extensive interior renovations and sympathetic additions.
Marvelous shot.
ReplyDeleteIt does look vintage. We saw a parade too but I haven't posted any pictures of it yet.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully looking nostalgic image!
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could put the slight blur down to Christmas spirit. I'm thinking of the ghost of Christmas passed, of course.
