Christmas & winter scenes in Berkeley Vale – stage 1 – early December

LAST ADDITION:   Monday 7th December   

– Take a walk down Berkeley High Street to enjoy the lights!   

Throughout December 2020, Berkness will be adding photos taken in the Vale of Berkeley in winters past and present.  

A new photo will be added almost daily to bring you a festive mood whilst celebrating the local sights.  Each photo of the first week is included below, most recent first.

A fairy light house on Lynch Road...

Big skies by day, fairy lights by night - Dec 2020

This image with its picket fence and the shape of the house reminds me of American folk paintings.

The promising sunset colours never transpired so I might be back to snap this one again.

A new work of art in Berkeley....

The large cedar tree outside the Mariners Arms

This display took the tree climber from K.A.D Total Tree Care over 7 hours to install 2000 LEDs on 200 metres of wire!

Watch out for other colours and various light sequences to fit the mood.

Anyone seen the remote control?

Romance in Berkeley Deer Park - because snowmen need love too...

Mr & Mrs Snow visit Berkeley

I hear they didn’t stay around in Berkeley for long – something about not liking the warmth of the place.

The traditional Christmas lanterns of Berkeley High Street...

December dusk down Berkeley High Street

These lovely lanterns come out year after year and still look fantastic!

Great to see Santa getting his eyes tested in Berkeley...

Armstrong's display on the corner of the High Street - Christmas 2019

He will be so well prepared for his busy month ahead.  Though I don’t suppose spectacles are much help half way down a chimney!

First Up: A frosty daybreak in Berkeley Castle meadows...

First hard frost heralds the start of winter 2020

Berkness hopes you enjoyed the photos and wishes everyone a merry Christmas, a happy New Year, and all the best throughout 2021.
