Christmas Rose

A single rose Its fragile beauty, Slowly dying: All things must end

I took this photo a couple of nights ago while looking at some of the Christmas lights around Randwick. This was taken outside one of the more brightly decorated houses in Frederick Street; the rose really stood out against all of the lights and decorations and I thought the way the colours reflected off it was interesting.

The lights were excellent this year; I'll post some photos once I've finished editing them. I enjoy seeing the light displays going up each year... they're much more widespread now than they used to be and the displays seem to get better and better each year. I am glad I don't live next to any of them though... I think it'd all drive me nuts after a while!
