This is one of my favorite winter images. I snapped it during a rare New Bern snow event, back in 2014, while driving (which I rarely do). I know I should have pulled over, got out of the car, set up the tripod, etc. I just didn't. Cold and lazy, I guess. Anyway this road is actually the private tree-lined driveway that leads to the swanky (and exclusive) New Bern Golf and Country Club.
This is the annual lighting of the Christmas Tree. The downtown event has become the official kick-off of the holiday season here in New Bern. We sang Christmas Carols too, even though it was warm enough to wear shorts! The photo was taken by photographer Bob Mackowski with Open Aperture Photography.
New Bern's Downtown Retail District has lots to see and do--day or night: Art Galleries, Coffee shops & Bars, Gift Shops, Deli's & Restaurants, Sweet Shops... and even parks for the kids.
