And then, some 180 miles away, there's downtown Binghamton, New York, where I work.
We have our own beauty here, especially on a December 21 day when it is in the 60's and the sun is shining. It was unbelievable and the walk was a pleasure. This just doesn't often happen on the first day of winter.
In a building built in 1904, a local insurance company has held caroling in their lobby for many years now. This year, the caroling by their employees was yesterday. As I entered the packed lobby, this was my view.
More close up. The murals on the walls, I understand, date from the 1980's. And yes, what you see on the staircase is is marble.
The singers and musicians assembled.
And sang Silver Bells.
Frosty the Snowman.
And O Christmas Tree.
Enjoy the season.
What a great thing the employees do. I love stuff like this.
ReplyDeleteIt nice to decorate the place on such durry time.
ReplyDeleteWhat joy! We have so few historic buildings here in Edmonton. They are pulled down to make room for new and 'better'.
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple, but it's probably only a matter of time...
I would so love this tradition!
His tidal building are so full of details we ont see in modern architecture. That ceiling is amazing. The singers were a delight, I’m sure.
