There are a series of required activities and events for anyone wanting to get into the holiday spirit. One of those things is to eat lots and lots of lutefisk. Another is to walk among the luminaries at the Hancock golf course.
That’s my food-frakking deputy, Julia, standing at the tip of a christmas tree made of candle-lit luminaries.
There are certain obvious technical restraints when it comes to photographing a pitch-black golf course, dotted with candles. In person, it’s a tranquil and magical moment amid the blizzard of holiday emotions. It doesn’t record well, as you can see in this picture of a water hazard surrounded by lights. The white blurs are discrete droplets of the quiet mist that blanketed the night.
They set these up at the Hancock golf course for only two nights, and then it’s back to just being a golf course. It’s probably my favorite holiday light-based event. Much better than Transsiberian Orchestra.
