This picture says a lot about Dunedin. Such a wonderful small town atmosphere, and yet not so small that they can't put on a wonderful wing-ding like this Old Fashioned Christmas Celebration. It was a great time, and I can't wait to see what they do next year. Everyone seemed so friendly and outgoing that night. It was wonderful, and all amidst the neat little shops of that awesome downtown that the City of Dunedin has managed to preserve. What's not to love? :D
May 2008 be a year of love and joy and prosperity for you and all your loved ones!

Happy 2008 Dunedin! Great energy in this photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and action-packed party shot.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes & Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLove the warm inviting colors.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't decide and am leaving it up to the votes. I narrowed my down to seven. Yikes! Hate to say I just couldn't pick one. Come take a look and put your vote in.
Looks like a great place - and warm enough to wear shorts in the winter too! ;) Happy New Year - best wishes for 2008!
ReplyDeleteYou are a very special person to me and I really like almost all of your photography.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice photograph and well-chosen for this January theme day.
Thanks for all of your visits to my blog in 2007 and I hope and pray you have excellent health and are very happy all the days of your life but especially in this new year 2008.
Happy New Year from Patty and me.
I like this one for the same reasons as you. Great towns are small enough to be able to have town gatherings but large enough that you have people to marry other than cousins. OK maybe not the exact same reasons, but close. A great picture. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun. You really captured the atmosphere. Great light.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you Wayne and thanks for all your visits.
une très belle photo de nuit. mes meilleurs voeux en cette année 2008.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful picture at night. My best wishes in the year 2008.
I love photos that capture the spirit and atmosphere of a town...this one is great!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year,
Andrea
I like this because it shows community. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI love this photo. It reminds me of some of the markets we have in France as well.
ReplyDeleteI also love your notice above in this comment box: If you are just here to leave an advertisement and/or link, please don't. If you do, I will invoice you US$100, and then delete your comment. LOL
Bonne année de Paris et thank you for taking part in the City Daily Photo community.
I like the colors of the photo. It reminded me of "les Estivales" in Montpellier.
ReplyDeleteHave a great year 2008!
Happy New Year, Wayne!
ReplyDeleteThis photo (like many of yours) makes me wish I were there! ;-)
Thanks for your kind words on Nashville Daily Photo!
Sounds like fun! And you seem to have a lot more younger people in Dunedin than we do in Naples ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Ushering in the new year with little faces all aglow - that's the best way to say Happy New Year.

Indeed! I can feel the spirit of the people of Dunedin.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to visiting your blog more often this 2008. And you're welcome to mine, too! For some reason, my link was not included in the participating blogs for the 1st of January 2008 theme day. Sorry I wasn't able to visit your blog sooner. I was in transit the whole of yesterday. I am now back in Norwich after the most fantabulous time at home in Manila.
Happy New Year to you and everyone you hold dear!
