Christmas Lights

Those Christmas lights light up the street
Down where the sea and city meet  
May all your troubles soon be gone  
Oh, Christmas lights, keep shinin' on

These lines from Coldplay's song "Christmas Lights" are perfect for this post.

My photos today are of the Christmas lights in the town of Espinho (a seaside town, packed in summer with beach-goers, year-round thriving commercial centre, where many shops have closed or are struggling under the effects of the crippling recession in Portugal.

Those Christmas lights light up the streets
Down where the sea and small town meet  
May all our troubles soon be gone  
Oh, Christmas lights, keep shinin' on
