You know Christmas is around the corner when Winter Wonderland is here. If you have never been before, Winter Wonderland is a traditional British Christmas market / fair held annually at Hyde Park, London. The majority of Winter Wonderland is made of craft stalls selling all manner of winter / Christmas paraphernalia and food and drink stalls selling a selection of traditional fayre such as Belgian Waffles, French Crepes, Bratwurst washed down with Bavarian Beer (although I did see a Jamie Oliver stall).
The remainder is made up of the ice skating rink and a collection of rides for thrill seekers of all ages.
I’ll show a few more images over the next couple of days, to help get you into the Christmas spirit, hope you enjoy.
Terrific, Chris, truly terrific! It’s really starting to feel like the season is just around the corner, and your photography here really speaks to that feeling! Great stuff, my fine friend!
Thanks Toad, I really appreciate the comment. Winter Wonderland is a truly festive event and I hope to portray a bit of that.
I went to the Christmas Markets when I lived in Germany, and during a visit to Austria. Thanks for bringing back such delightful memories, including those of German food, wine and beer.
Thanks Jennifer. My pleasure and glad you liked it
Looks like an awesome place to be this time of year! Good stuff!
Ah thanks Jim, just need a bit of snow and we are good to go
Bright and cheerful, I love those truly saturated colours, Chris
Thanks Andy, I was stood next to the tree and thought “Why not?”
