People and Grinches and Lights and Santa at Pacific Grove’s 22nd Annual Holiday Parade
One of the things I really like about living in Pacific Grove, CA, and where I live close to downtown PG, is being able to walk to all the events that the city has going on seemingly every month! So I took my camera down just one block and was able to start getting photos of the 22nd Annual Holiday Parade of Lights! I photographed it last year too. My friends at the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce help organize this annual parade featuring bands, floats, and local clubs showing off their BMX bike riding skills, robots, and senior dogs up for adoption! I hope you enjoy the photo story below reliving your favorites sights from the parade.

The parade closed with some high school classes of 50+ years ago carrying their banners. I wonder if some of those class of 1975 and later people as kids walked in this same parade?

I cannot help but feel a part of the Pacific Grove Holiday Light Parade because the staging of it takes place right on my street right in front of my house! So all I have to do is walk out my front door to see the start of the parade action. I took my camera along the route entrance to get some unique views, as well as up top from a bird’s eye viewpoint.

My second time photographing the annual Twinkle Light Parade in the Nob Hill neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Various types of vehicles adorned in a variety of twinkling Christmas lights slowly drive down Route 66 (aka Central Ave) to the delight of thousands of on-lookers. The usual favorites like Rudolph and The Grinch are always present, along with some twists like Mr. Potato Head and Darth Vader!
Read MoreSaturday evening was the annual Twinkle Light Parade in the Nob Hill area of Albuquerque. Since this is still my first year in ABQ, it was therefore my first time to check out the parade. It provided lot of great photography opportunities, while being a challenging low light shooting situation.
