a little Christmas in the city

towering through three levels of  Sydney's Queen Victoria Building, it's just the tip of the Swarovski Christmas tree
 
21 metres of Christmas in Martin Place, Sydney.  The lights keep changing colours...
 
 
one of several David Jones department store window displays
Later addition: they're koalas

    John and Theresa --- they do look a bit like mice but I figure they've got to be an Aussie koala family

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
