A large crowd of onlookers, seen only as silhouettes in front of a powerful floodlight, gather in an arc around a closed intersection to watch a baton dance performance by a couple of young girls spinning lighted batons. The photo is shot as an extended exposure so there are colorful light trails in circular patterns around the two blurry looking girls.

   Almost every year since 1986, my town's had a Christmas themed celebration. I have now been involved in some way in over half of the entire history of this event!

   In recent years the festivities have been organized by friends of mine. I'm always the event photographer, the event promoter, and I also help coordinate aspects of the event in other ways.

   The highlight this year were a couple young girls who were amazing baton dancers. These girls were elite and I managed to shoot some hand-held long exposure light trails of their glow in the dark performance.
