Last week, "Our Man in Paris," Ric Erickson, sent photos of the Christmas displays in Paris, already lit up – "Galeries Lafayette re-runs its lights of yesteryear, but as usual Printemps has new set."  This weekend, starting on the 18th, the usual displays are being hoisted on Hollywood Boulevard.  More photos will follow.  We're just getting started out here in the west, at the end of the world.

Hollywood Boulevard, late November 2005

The Hollywood display is secular, of course.  But out at Pepperdine University in Malibu they have this permanent cross.  It doesn't change for Christmas, or Easter. It's kind of spooky.

The rest of the Pepperdine campus looks kind of like this.

If you use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me.  

There is a copyright notice at the bottom of this page, of course.

These were shot with a Nikon D70 – lens AF-5 Nikor 18-70mm 1:35-4.5G ED or AF Nikor 70-300mm telephoto.

They were modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0
