For Christmas, Tokyo gets transformed into a sparkling winter wonderland as millions of colourful lights are displayed in trees, on and around buildings, and even on landmarks such as Tokyo Tower. This page lists many locations where such illuminations can be seen this season (most will be taken down on the 25th).
I was in Istanbul, Turkey for a few days earlier this week. I had great weather and the city looked gorgeous! Here are some photos I took. Above, Hagia Sophia at twilight.
Yesterday, I went on my first seaplane ride, a 45-min tour departing from and arriving at the Vancouver Harbour. Here are some pictures I took on the flight.
Above, the last sunset of 2010, from West Vancouver.
