This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: Christmas is coming prompt.
The prompt started me thinking about how much has changed since Christmas was coming a year ago. That got me thinking about the Santa Claus parade in the local town.
There was no parade this year, instead you could make an appointment to walk past Santa last Saturday evening.
Normally the parade involves travelling two blocks along the highway through town. This year the highway is ripped up for the replacement of water mains and sewers.
Between Covid-19 and construction work there wasn’t a chance of a parade this year. So here’s a couple of photos from last year.

Beautiful photos of the parade…we are in the Same boat..no parade.
Thank you. I think Christmas is going to be very different for a lot of people this year.
Ah, “normal times”, how nostalgic. Great shots, David, very vibrant.
Thanks Dale. I actually made them slightly less vibrant by adding a vignette to darken the corners. It doesn’t feel like Christmas is approaching this year.
Gorgeous colors! Gingerbread man as part of a float parade!😃
I thought the gingerbread men were a little different.
Haha! I cannot even tell! The colors are just so vibrant and you caught the image well. Good job as always David!
