Saltaire's Advent Windows #1
Anyone who has followed my blog for a year or more will know that for the past eighteen years, the village of Saltaire has, every December, turned itself into a giant Advent Calendar. Village residents and businesses create beautiful, imaginative, illuminated scenes in their windows and one or two new windows are unveiled each night, from the 1st to the 24th of December. It has become a wonderful tradition and has led several other places, both in the UK and abroad, to adopt a similar ritual.
I love to explore the trail round our dark streets, looking for the lights, photographing them and sharing my favourites here.
We'll start with two windows in Saltaire's Methodist Church, created by Saltaire Art Group. Practised and professional, their displays always have real flair. This year's offerings combine bold silhouettes and gorgeous colours, both sure-fire winners for creating impact.
