Christmas Holidays

Christmas Holidays
There is nothing more Canadian than a backyard hockey rink. This one is built on public land by volunteers. The rink will be filled with children, and possibly some adults during the Christmas Holidays which started today. The back fences of the three homes who appear to support this endeavor have posted flags from all the Canadian National Hockey League teams and also some lights for night play, which is most of the day at this time of year. Notice how long the shadows are in the middle of the day.

For the Saturday Self-challenge: Create an image that highlights your favourite aspect of the holiday season.

Yes, those are sure some long and low shadows. It looks like fun as long as it doesn't get to rowdy. ;-)

A very Merry Christmas to you and Mrs. Puchinpappy. :)
