christmas wonderland

There is a small number of special people who created our local Christmas Wonderland. They constructed it for the first time last year and this year is even bigger and better. So much to see. I'm going back again with my kids next time (lol. it was just me this time). Lots of interactive displays, trains whizzing on their tracks, tunes playing and a couple of very jolly fellows singing out HO HO HO.

I've used no flash to retain the ambient lighting which looks sooo much better in these shots.

Prepare for a few, small,  a smorgasbord of images.

The fairy garden. Each one is individual and all are hand made.

If you get the chance, you really should go in there. And drop a gold coin donation in the chimney of the house at the beginning of the bridge!!
