I think that Christmas Carols (and Christmas music in general) lends to the “feel” of Christmas as much as many of the other traditions associated with the Day and the Season. Whether its Carollers on the street or in the church, the chorus of voices or the clarity of the soloist singing those traditional carols (or the new songs) helps get me in the Christmas Mood.
This was a photo taken at the annual Festival of Carols held at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Brickdam Cathedral), it is one of the few times I’ve attempted higher ISOs on the Canon Digital Rebel T1i, although there’s a fair amount of noise it wasn’t too bad for the shot, and I did a bit of noise reduction in Topaz 🙂

Hi Michael
Christmas greetings to you and your family from us here in Jamaica. The story as you told it about the Christmas as you feel it, the very nice photo of the church, especially it being Brickdam Cathedral, is very timely. All our lives (older guyanese overseas) are in some way associated with that historical cathedral. Nice article, beautiful photo. Enjoy receiving your photos. Warm regards. Cecil
Thanks Cecil! I think I am beginning to become one of the “older Guyanese” myself :-). Its great to hear people say they feel something of home just from my little photos 🙂 Have a great Season!
