Chrismas on Venice Ave.

Venice Ave through the heart of downtown is a wonderful divided street with with palms and landscaping down the center.  Closer to the beach it becomes an even wider, full fledged, delightful park.  During the holidays the three blocks of palms in shopping district are bedecked with lights. 

I was able to get this shot of one block after the lights had come on and there was still just enough background light to see the outlines of the palms.
