Saltaire's Advent Windows #7
Our Advent Windows continue to be lit up in the evenings, until the end of December.
I'm not really sure of the inspiration behind this one; whether there is any deep significance to the Greek columns pictured. I do, however, quite like it. Again, it's simple but impactful and the colours are saturated and gorgeous. That's all you need for a memorable Advent Window.
This was another on a narrow street with the inevitable parked cars, but again, the reflection in the car's roof adds interest.
On the Monday before Christmas, the Hallroyd Brass Band played Christmas carols around Saltaire. It was wonderfully festive - and thankfully the wind and rain stayed away. When I was a child, we used to get groups of carol singers going house to house and it was always magical to suddenly hear their voices floating through the darkness. People don't seem to do that any more, so it was lovely to join in with the singing around the village.
The Greek columns bring some perspective to the illustration, and I love the reflection you caught! What fun to have a brass band of carolers!
