The countdown to Christmas...

2008.12.06

When the Christmas tree is erected in Trafalgar Square it feels like the countdown to Christmas has really begun. The tree is a gift from the people of Norway to London and has been erected in the square since the Christmas of 1947. As a symbol of international friendship I can't think of anything much better and it has perhaps become the most famous Christmas tree in the world.

The full story of the tree is here on the Norwegian Embassy website.

DancingDolphin I look at this shot and wonder how many you took before you realized that having the church spire and the tree in perfect alignment would make a great shot. Nicely done, and beautiful color of blue.
