I love this photo! It's a rather atmospheric and surreal picture of a tree on a piece of green land at the station end of Station Road called Dog's Acre which has been lit with blue Christmas lights. I don't know if it's me, but doesn't the formation of those lights look a bit like a reindeer's head from that angle? Whether it's a coincidence or intention, I don't know, but it is a rather apt shape for a set of Christmas lights! This was taken from Alpha Road, looking north-west, with Station Road running across the image in the background.
