Week 8: Christmas at Disneyland






This weekend I went to Disneyland just for a few hours (love having the Deluxe pass!) I met some family there to honor my grandpa, who passed away a few days ago.
Something that immediately caught my eye, naturally was the spectacular new Christmas display of lights. I love how to represent snow on the castle it is just a combination of cool colored lights trickling down the castle walls.
In the first picture I love that my camera captured the different colors. The reds and greens in the garland, the yellows and whites on the buildings, and the blues in the Christmas tree. It makes for a more dramatic effect I think to have these different color combinations, yet it still has an elegant and traditional Christmas feel.
Without the use of the extravagant lights the guests at Disneyland would not enjoy the entire atmosphere that is the holiday season. In this particular setting, instead of lights being used to support an idea, they are in a way one of the important main attractions. Like going to see the snow fall, or the firework show, many people go to Disneyland to view the Christmas tree lit or to see the castle all lit up.
