Christmas Rush

Description

These are the lights on my bushes out front. I used a slow shutter, stood in the middle of the bushes and held the camera over the top of the bushes, then turned the camera toward the left end. I clicked the shutter and slowly panned to the right end. The wider lights streams came as I panned and the camera was in the middle position pointed straight down.
