Like moths attracted to a porch light, we were likewise drawn last week to the 'Alight at Night' festival at Upper Canada Village, a reconstructed town that replicates life as it was in the mid-1800s. It's hard to imagine how long it took to string up the almost 1 million lights that illuminate the village during this season of light.
It was certainly impressive as we toured the village on a horse-drawn wagon, and enjoyed a ride on the riotously-festooned train.
Hop aboard.

Very beautiful photos.
Wow, what a beautifully lit up place... a joy to see. It's starting to feel a whole lot like Christmas, and now I'm thinking if this community can string up that many lights it's about time I got outside and did mine! lol
Even without a tripod your shots are stunning Rick!
Wow ma quanti colori e luce!!! la prima poi è eccezionale…bello vedere così tanti luci nel periodo di Natale…mi piace anche la foto del bambino, ha uno sguardo intenso…complimenti, ciao Cri : )
Wow - that's a lot of lighting. Awesome shots.
Hoi Rick,
wat zal dat een prachtig gezicht geweest zijn. Hier in Nederland kennen we wel verlichtingen maar niet zo uitbundig als bij jullie. Echt prachtig om te zien en dat treintje vind ik echt fantastisch!
Groetjes, Helma

Absolutely gorgeous! Rick, not sure if I ever told you this or not...but the name of your blog, All Nature Sings? Those are words in one of my favourite hymns, "This is my Father's World". :)
These pictures were stunning! Thanks for sharing.
