Although I don’t like that it gets dark so early these days, one thing that makes it better is all the lights that go up around town this time of year. Last weekend I was on St. Denis and they had little blue lights strung up on all the trees. I didn’t have my camera with me then but today I did and I was downtown on McGill College Avenue which I think is one of the prettiest when decorated with lights. The big Christmas tree at PVM has already been turned on and it’s quite enjoyable to walk down the street towards Ste Catherine with all the office towers lit up on either side and looming over the street that’s lined with trees festooned and draped in lights. The tail lights from the cars going by and the buzz of the people on the sidewalks are so lively that it makes impending winter seem not so bad.
