Wildlights at the BC Wildlife Park in Kamloops
Another new adventure for us was the Wildlife Park…… they put on an ah-mazing lightshow every Christmas, and we were told we had to go to see it 
There were thousands of twinkling lights all over the park, a maze, a train ride, fireworks, hot chocolate, bonfires, Chris the Clown (we even saw Frosty there!). It was a magical meander through a park that has lots to offer all year round. I wasn’t allowed to bring my tripod (it was a family night out, and my hubby knows me too well, lol… but next year I’m taking a second, photo trip. So, these shots are all handheld, in the pitch dark, with a beautiful New Years Eve snow falling. Needless to say, there aren’t any fireworks photos for this post.
The lightshow at the end of the evening was set to music, and one of my favorite Christmas albums, “Christmas Eve and Other Stories” by the Trans Siberian Orchestra .
great shots!
Wow, what wonderful shots. Inspiring! Makes me want to run! What sort of camera do you take on your run to achieve such good results?
Thanks Lynne! It was an absolutely gorgeous morning, but I didn’t have my camera with me. I force myself to leave my camera at home for two reasons. First, it’s a Nikon D700 and it’s way too heavy, and second, if I took it I wouldn’t get any exercise done. No, I found myself running a bit faster, then bee-lining home to get my camera and go back for a photoshoot.
Great use of the tree in your pictures. Good job!!
