As we continue to enjoy our Christmas tree lights–not belonging to the group of people who believe that Christmas trees should be taken down before New Years–I look back on some other beautiful lights from my travels. Is there anything better than lights against a dark sky?

Zoo Lights in Columbus, OH 2011

Fenway Park Stadium Lights 2011

Fireworks at EPCOT

Time Square in NYC, 2008

the fluorescent glow of Bourbon St., New Orleans

A string of lights hanging from the boom of our boat at Martha’s Vineyard, 2008

What lights stick out in your memory?
