I took this picture at The Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica when my boyfriend and I went on a date there. I thought it was such a pretty night, it was cold and crisp, not too big of crowds, and the lights added so much to the feel of the evening. We saw that all thye trees along the promenade were decporated beautifully with white lights. Although they are decorated like this all year long, It made me feel more festive for the holidays, which are just around the corner. These lights also continued around the corner to where an ice skating rink is set up for people to enjoy. The lights are strung over the ice like a canopy, and while skating, its as if you are in a winter wonderland. all the lights would just seem to blur together. After enjoying the ice skating rink, amnd all the people who were falling, running into the sides, or scooting along the sides, we went to the movies. This picture is looking down the 3rd Street Promenade towards the movie theatre. You can see the neon sign of the cinema to the right. These lights also made for a pleasant experience. The lights were well kept, and unlike some theatres, had all the letters in working order. The pink and blue of the sign mixed well with the white hanging from the trees. overall, the evening was a very good one, and the lights all contributed in adding to the experience as a whole. They made for a romantic and beautiful night.
