One of my favorite Baltimore Christmas traditions are the Hamden 34th Street Lights. One of my friends and I went out at 11pm last night to try and get some shots without all the traffic.

That plan worked, but some of the houses turn the lights off for the night, some of my favorites were out, the blue crab house and the bicycle wheel snowman house. So I'm going back Sunday night & getting there earlier.

I also dropped my lens cap at one point and spent 15 minutes crawling around in the street, in the snow. Finally I found it on top of the tire of the truck I was next to. Crazy.

when we got to cold on 34th Street, we got back int he car and drove down to the Washington Monument in Mt. Vernon to get some more pictures. Unfortunately there was a crazy man at the monument who really wanted to talk to me, and not let me take pictures, so I have to go back there too!

it was a fun, cold night regardless and I was lucky to get some pictures of the lights with snow on the ground.
