I have found that taking photos of window displays is very hard to do.   Photos taken during the day are difficult because the glass is too reflective.  Taken at night the  photos can seem dark and moody, which is not always a bad thing.  The Container Party shop windows often have some sort of  wrapped or bound objects in them, making a reference to all of the carefully wrapped objects that just came over the Atlantic from Rotterdam, Holland..  This year’s window has a number of pieces, wrapped and tied with bubble wrap literally swirling around,  suspended by chain from the ceiling.  Click on images to enlarge.

The plastic wrap really reflects the light.

The window at night with a flash.  Roxie,  my dog comes to the shop with me and has her bed in the bottom left hand corner of the front window,  it’s her perch  so she can sit and watch the world go by.  Click on images to enlarge.
