The doves of peace have been here on Little Lever Street for a while; the bright shapes above the flock point to a New Year's Eve party in town.
I've never enjoyed New Year's Eve much, even in my teens and 20s- it seemed a kind of enforced joviality to me. There is a whole industry built around tonight with bars and pubs, clubs and restaurants all charging over the top prices for entrance to places that are crammed to the rafters and cannot possibly offer a service half as good as they usually would.
Maybe I'm alone in such thoughts, but I would rather have a quieter night with family and friends. Have a fun New Year's Eve however you spend it.
Linking for the last time this year to Monday Murals .
Me, too. And I like getting up with the sun on New Year's Day.
ReplyDeleteThe doves of peace have a lot enemies. I'll take a house party over a bar any time. My problem is trying to say awake until midnight.
ReplyDeleteNice mural. Looks a bit like the birds silhouette the bus authority place on the glass waiting houses to show it is glass and not an empty space to walk through here in almere. Still have a nice day.
ReplyDeletei like the doves...we stay in too. we watch all the new years celebrations on tv and stay up to ring in the new year! happy new year to you!
ReplyDeleteI love those birds, you got a perfect shot, it's a beautiful mural!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad the doves of peace haven't been messed with. The mural that is. I'm with you about how to spend New Year's Eve. Large crowds of any kind are not my cup of tea. So here's to a pleasant evening among friends and best wishes for a great New Year. Thanks for continuing to participate in Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful image!
