Festive Square #5

My feet are frozen and my fingers are so stiff that I keep dropping my little wireless shutter release in the crackling snow. It’s seems to me that it’s getting colder by the minute, but we are here to make photos of the Christmas shopping atmosphere, and photos I will do!

My sister is shivering, thinking of getting inside somewhere for a cup of hot coffee, but stopping at every ten steps to make just another shot…

Now I’m almost finished with this fireplace shot, my teeth are chattering, and in just a few seconds, I’ll be able to lift my hands close to the fire and blissfully warm my frozen digits.

My sister is dragging me toward the closest coffee shop, and as soon as we step in, we are told that it is now past closing time… Drat! After a few minutes we finally find another one, still open, where we thaw out a bit before going back to shoot some more, until we’re out of battery power.

This is what I call a fantastic night!
