Zilker Christmas Tree meets full moon on winter solstice

December 21, 2010


The nearly full moon shone through the colored lights of the Zilker Christmas tree last night, making a spectacular sight on the eve of the winter solstice.

My dad, who is visiting from North Carolina, had never seen it. We made sure he took a spin under the tree. This is what it looks like when you spin under the spiraling lights.

Whee!

Feeling dizzy? So were we.
Have a merry Christmas, dear readers!
