Market Friday
A post for Market Friday hosted by 
This is the one tag and challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.
For this weeks post, I am focusing on some of the Christmas Decorations I saw downtown and at a Lighthouse I visited recently, OK the lighthouse I cannot stretch to be market related but the shops fit into that category but with tomorrow being Christmas day I though this was a good time to share these as we do know Denise Loves this season
As she and I have discussed, people just seem more cherry and happy this time of year, and even more so this year, its a pity the season of goodwill can not last all through the year
But before I do for anyone who see's this post I should take a moment to wish for all those who Celebrate Christmas a Very Merry Christmas, and for those who do not celebrate Christmas Seasons greetings
Ok now onto the Market Friday shots These were taken continuing on from yesterdays post
Just next to the Christmas tree I shared yesterday I saw this shop, I am not sure whether its a shop or a restaurant but I suspect its a shop, but I didn't think when I took this shot to walk up and take a look in the window but it was decorated nicely

And then I went up the road downtown and saw the play place which I think is some sort of gaming arcade had even got into the season

Now the rest of this post may not be market related I can perhaps justify this next one looking down the street counts as there are shops either side of the street, with the long exposure I caught both the red and green light plus some light trails from cars driving by

Now I will have to be creative if I want to justify that shots of a lighthouse somehow fit into a Market Friday post, let me think.....
OK a lighthouse guides ships, and many of the ships here are commercial fishing boats which bring in fish which goes to markets and shops, a stretch I know but Seeing the Neds Point lighthouse with wreath and Christmas lights i though it fitted well in this post

And even thought my Wife isn't on Hive, I will wish her a Happy Birthday on here This time last year she was in hospital with a Broken Hip and other complications, on a ventilator and at this time a year ago it was touch and go if she would make it, but she did and is doing a lot better now, today from when she gets up probably a couple of hours after I post this today will be all about making today special for her so I wont be on Hive much
