Lovely lights in London suburbs. Driving around London in December, like driving around Singapore, or the USA, is a delight. Somebody in every street has outdone all the others with strings of lights and illuminated figures, such as trees, and animals such as reindeer.

Sometimes the lights are so delightful, that I ask the driver to stop the car so that I can photograph without car shake. Then I can get out and cross the road and photograph the lights from close up. Avoiding obtruding lamp posts, parked cars, hunchbacks walking along with tail-wagging dogs blurring the picture.
Somebody is hooting. Is that a demand that the parked driver move? Or simple to warn that a car is overtaking.
I run back to the kerb. But remember to pause so that I don't dash into the road in front of approaching vehicles from both directions, including invisible and silent bicycles.
Back home, I can edit the pictures, cutting out pavements, huge skies, unsightly litter and litter bins. Until I have the perfect picture.
