Caroling on Palmer Square

Uploaded: December 24, 2013

Description

---
Two Christmas seasons ago, I was doing volunteer photography for the local Salvation Army. It was while on assignment to capture photographs of the Bell Ringers that I encountered this group of old-fashioned Carolers in Princeton's Palmer Square. It was a bitter cold day for singing or bell ringing.
----
I may have posted this shot THAT year, but this time I've used TOPAZ Restyle to slightly change the toning.
