SF Winter Solstice Union Square (1466)

Though I don't celebrate religious holidays, I've no problem with lighting up the darkest time of the year. This is particularly true in a year that seems unusually dismal for the workers of the world. So, interspersed as I'm posting other pictures, this photo from the lights and ice-skating in Union Square in SF (of course, the lights and ice-skating are from major corporate sponsors including one known for bad labor relations). BUT, people were having fun and enjoying it.
