The houses here are so far apart and the traffic so light that you wonder who will ever see any lights you put up.
On our way home from Moncton we pass through the town of Riverview.
The Main Street parallels the Petitcodiac river and there is about 25 feet of land between the road and river. Just enough for some grass, a row of trees, and a walking path. It is along this 1/2 km stretch that the town focuses its decorative efforts. It can be seen from the other side of the river as well but it is very far away from anywhere you can get to to take a picture and would need a long telephoto lens.
We followed the walking path (in the pouring rain) to catch the lights before all the snow melted.
Just for fun.
Now over to Safari to add the last one.
What a job I had finding this thread in Safari!

We sure got cold and wet. Thankfully the temperature stayed at +1°C all the way home so the roads didn’t freeze.
Reviewing my message I noted the inconsistency between metric and imperial measure. Since we grew up with feet and °F and switched to metric at about 19 years of age we are completely switched to metric in some things, like temperature, speed and distance on the road in km, but we still weigh ourselves in pounds and measure our height in feet & inches. Construction materials are mostly feet & inches. Gas, petrol, is litres, most liquids are ml or litres, mostly because the switch made every container a bit smaller but the price stayed the same. Everything in the grocery store is sold in ml, litres, grams, kg, but prices for produce and meat are often quoted as $ per pound because that price looks much more attractive than $ per kg. Our money was already metric so it stayed the same. Well it became plastic and devalued. I’m wondering if this duality between metric and imperial measure is a Canadian thing or if this is common in other countries, too.
