santa claus on main street


please click on photo to see santa and his helpers up close


well he's actually on conklin street but main street is right around the corner. every year the fire department in the village of farmingdale drives santa around so he can wave hello to all of the children in the neighborhood. they usually do this two weeks before christmas. you can always hear them coming because they blare the fire sirens and as they get closer you hear christmas music too. if you open your front door santa's helpers will hand deliver your youngsters a candy cane too. it's really quite nice, this farmingdale tradition.
yesterday I was waiting at a stop light when I happened to pass by santa making his rounds. I saw this shadow shot & thought it was perfect for the season. if you'd like to see more shadow shots, please visit hey harriet over here.

Fun shadow photo. Every year our fire department does the same thing. It's a wonderful tradition.

Wonderful shot, Lily. The Fire Dept in Massapequa did that for our kids years ago too.

This is just a cute shot! Imagining, Sta. goes around my block. Hmmm... hot in the city! Hope Sta. handles the sweaty beard.

Our Sta. in Europe won't go around the block! It's freezin´UP here §:-)

Cheers for a nice Sunday!
Great shot..just love the Santa/helpers..Good job..Happy SSS..

What a lovely tradition. We have nothing like that happening where I am. You captured a great santa shadow! Such a sweet festive shot. Can't wait to collage your jolly fellow & his shadow :)

Hope you're having a lovely Sunday. Mine is over. It's now Monday. Phooey!

I especially like the mysterious blue part of the shadow. And the subject is just wonderful! Happy Holiday and Shadow Shot Sunday both!

I would have been so excited as a kid to see santa this way. As an adult, I would still enjoy the tradition.

cool shot.
