I had the chance to stop off in Lebanon, prior to work this evening. Lebanon is the county seat for the county I live in. (Warren) This time of year, the city center is alight with Christmas decorations. Tonight was a perfect time to capture Lebanon’s Christmas cheer. It was a beautiful night, with lights sparkling and a cool breeze blowing. The moon also showed up and waved hello. It was checking out the downtown area.
Even though I only had a brief time to capture the beauty that is Lebanon at Christmas, I was able to rekindle some of that old holiday spirit. So tonight, Lebanon was just the medicine I needed to jump start my holiday joy.

I love the Christmas lights! It’s such a pretty time of year in North America.
Thanks Ali.

Thanks lindcamp7
Looks like a lovely place.
They’ve been setting up the the main square here in Brno for Christmas over the last week or so. I think the Christmas market officially opens next weekend.
Great. Are you going to go get some shots for us?
I am thinking about setting up a blog about Brno or places in the Czech Republic in general, so keep an eye open for it.
You should!
wish you wonderful holidays
You too. Thanks. I am sure I will have lots more holiday shots.
🙂
The lights in the fist picture look like fireworks in a glance. 😀 Love the Christmas tree.. And the moon. Beautiful shots of the moon. 🙂
Thanks. Glad you like the Moon shots. I was getting out of my Jeep to take pictures of the lights, looked up and there was the Moon.
Your welcome. 😀
Our lights are turned on tonight……. but they won’t be worth a photograph! Seasons Greetings to you!
Your home lights or the lights in the city?
Our town lights. Very understated – and a cool breeze would blow them out! Of course, I may be surprised this year, but that’s been the way for many years. They are always the same, never new.!

Lebanon Christmas lights
——————————————-
While holiday night unfolds in a small town called Lebanon,
holiday times marked with the grand pine tree lit up in its centre.
Lonely wreaths luminously hanging from the light post amid bare trees,
and public library with its fast collection of literary stories of Christmas past.
As the Golden Lamb shelters notables traveling amid Cincinnati and Columbus,
windows shopping for the gleeful eyes of holiday shoppers with wishful list to fill.
O Christmas tree O Christmas tree how I may say your decorations are so fine,
while the moon looks over Lebanon here in Ohio as well as the others in the world.
Visiting on this clear night the town hall whom tells of time passing leisurely yet so hastily.
may your dreams be sweet and your future bright. Marry Christmas to all, to all a good night.

Beautiful!!! I’m trying to capture Christmas lights at night here, too…but I only have a digital camera, & my results are not so good right now! Ha! My son is trying to walk me through it! Great post, Seth!
Thanks again. I am sure you’ll take some beauty shots. 🙂

It can be. I agree. Thanks 🙂
I love the one with the red brick building with the white balconies and the black fire escape steps. That would make a great Christmas card!
That is the Golden Lamb. It is a restaurant that has hosted many famous people including several presidents.
I feel that Christmas cheer! 🙂

Beautiful work. Being a fellow Buckeye (but transplanted) I really appreciated “Holiday Time.” That could be one of so many communities in that state — I know, I grew up in one of them.
And the “Lonely Wreath” brought it all home. You can feel the crisp night and sense the warmth of the hearth. Beautiful. Thanks.
Thanks Doc Reiss. I am glad you like the photos and I am glad I could bring a bit of Ohio to you.
beautiful images, from the title I thought it would be a post about Lebanon in the Middle East … 😉
Yeah, it’s an interesting name. I’ll have to do some research and find out how it got its name.
must have been some Lebanese immigrants back when….
Beaitiful the Moon 🙂
The open letter to the Moon
You have requested the Moon don’t quit
From our solar system
For you my friend
And providing you with its orbit
This timeless message
Do you not see
Gaze in full moon
By its mysterious first
These insidious torment
Forgive its foreign nature
That’s how to be specific
It has widespread disorder in your life
Did you try to understand it
Share its lunar tides ras
The measurable silence by the human soul
That affects the time able
but with the acquisition of transcendence
The trajectory useless sneaks
Do you see not at years lights
There is enough of all this
Your concern too many ‘ hear
In the end I realized
All this Capernaum that is incumbent upon me
This well-intentioned breccia
Be aware of the immensity
Anything that fills a life to be
Oh! thee Moon, my well loved
Of thy ineffable presence
I carry in me the flame
Unconditional gasoline
I claimed the Lunar power
You have requested the Moon do not leave
