Festive Tradition

The illuminated collection stretches into darkness, each jolly figure casting gentle shadows while warm light emanates from within their translucent forms. This enchanting holiday installation transforms an ordinary urban space into a whimsical wonderland, where countless identical Santas stand in silent formation like a benevolent Christmas militia. — ISO 160 · 45mm · f/5.6 · 1/5
