These are the oppoeite ends of the street in Raleigh, Fayetteville St., that runs from the State Capitol to what used to have a cool name until it became the Duke Energy Center. This stretch of road is used for the farmer’s market in the summer, concerts and street vender, food trucks and, vaious protests authorized and otherwise with an occasional riot tossed in. This night it is quiet, a misty night heavy with moisture and subtile silence. The tree the only nod to the holiday on the grounds of the State House, the more magificant tree by the old Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. I love how the light bends up the stairs in front of each column.

The seasons most unique decoration is tomorrow!
