Snow and Lights on Tannery Road - Tall Pines - Sturbridge, MA

Winter made a stunning entrance on Tannery Road in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, in early December 2009.

One of the remarkable features of this neighborhood is the row of street lights that line the road. The lamps are hand-made by a local tinsmith, and when night falls and the lights come up, Tannery Road is transformed. Add the lighted garland that the residents hang for the holiday season each year, and you have the prettiest street in Sturbridge.

These photograhs were taken on an early morning, as the sun rose, the moon took a bow, and before the street lights turned off for the day. You can see why this neighborhood is called the Tall Pines.
