What can I say about this year’s display in the Music Room at Longwood Gardens for Christmas this year – that hasn’t been said before. The theme for the Music Room was a Peacock Masquerade Ball – so fanciful paper feathers, colors from a peacock’s tail – and an incredible tree. In other words – it had to be seen before.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the Music Room

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing my “traditional” photos of Christmas in the Music Room in this year’s Christmas at Longwood display. Over the next couple of days I’ll be sharing some additional photos from the music room where I used longer exposures to capture some motion in the room
