Touching Christmas Decorations From Around The World

Even store-bought ornaments have a story behind them.

Whilst i was enjoying the Christmas Snow in a local National Trust site, i popped into their cafe-cum-shop and found this little fellow in the Bargin Bin. I paid the lady the shockingly low sum of three english pounds, tucked my little cervidae friend in my pocket (with his little bobblehead poking out), and set off through the wintery tundra. On a technical note, i love shooting with the 85mm at f1.4, it's crazy how slim the focusing range is. As you can see above, the body of the moose is in focus, but the head is ever so slightly out.
