A SHORT WALK WITH THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST

I was sitting as usual, in my old comfortable chair in front of the PC screen, selecting some recently taken photographs for one of the future posts when I heard a sudden, ghostly noise coming from the usually silent part of the house. From a room that was a bedroom once but now is filled with piles of old, obsolete stuff. When I went to check what's going on, it was soon revealed that it was a matter of cats. Two of my cats got into a short fight and displaced some old books along the way. The mystery didn't last long, but that eerie thought about ghostly, supernatural activities made me remember the first appearance of The Ghost of Christmas Past in the movie Scrooge from 1970 ...

... so I felt inspired to take a walk down a digitalized memory lane ...

... which brought me to an old folder filled with mostly forgotten photographs from 2013.

A handful of those shots were taken on Christmas.

The night shown in the photographs was foggy and dreamlike.

The decorations on the roundabout near the supermarket at the edge of town had a strong Science Fiction feel.

The atmosphere was evoking an alien invasion or some weird X-files stuff more than the traditional Christmas. Which was, and still is, fine with me.😎

It was like E.T. could appear at any moment from that fog. Or some giant three-legged fighting machines from Mars. In other words - it was great.

Most of that Christmas material was shot at night. Most, but not all.

I caught this little red burglar earlier that day.

It got stuck in this pose on the way out of the house and remained there till mid - January.

And that's it. I'm back in the current Christmas now. The night is foggy again, but the decorations look different. As always in these posts on HIVE, the photographs are my work - THE END.
