For as long as I can remember this star at the top of "the hill" in downtown Homewood has been a tradtion throughout the Christmas season. This view, looking north towards Birmingham captures Vulcan pointing the way!

This is an incredible picture V - just as I would expect. Another beautiful new header too...
What a lovely thing ... last nite I was told 'you cant take a photo in here' .. I was in the lobby of my office building and I wanted a shot of the lovely silver stars hanging from the ceiling .. I never use a flash so I just pointed/shot .. the security guard said HEY you cant do that. I said I didnt, did you see a flash? And then I split ...
I have lived in Birmingham most of my life. I think it's a beautiful, friendly, and interesting place to live. I hope that my daily photographs portray the diversity of my hometown in a positive and artistic way.

Belle étoile! A Paris....il neige, il neige! Il fait très froid! Mieux vaut rester au chaud!
Are you sure that's not Cam?
So nice to see towns still putting up Christmas decorations like this.
The star is a perfect crown for tiny little Vulcan there in the distance. Love the shot!
Love the magic of the Christmas season!!!
I love light up Christmas decorations. This one is a classic.

warm and lovely like coookies
I've always loved the Homewood star, and the nativity at the Methodist church on Oxmoor.
I still miss Birmingham.
Where was your header? Mountain Brook?
Oh, you got a statue of Vulcan? Makes sense but I didn't know that. The statue looks like it's generated a miraculous display in the sky.
Ah, those lovely Christmas decorations at hight!
Bon weekend 'a toi
