Old Town Shops at Night

Here is a friendly shopping scene at night as the stores stay open for tourists to shop in the evening in Old Town Scottsdale.

The lights strung around the trees makes the atmosphere festive.

The stores have shade cover to protect shoppers from the sun in the daytime, and they are well lit at night for your viewing and shopping pleasure.

There are many galleries in Old Town so it is fun to stroll through Old Town to get exercise, while viewing amazing pieces of art and jewelry, and then having a glass of wine and dinner at one of the many great restaurants in this very pedestrian friendly area.

There's something quite calming about this photograph. Probably that soft light, the mint green of the shop front, and those trees dressed in tiny lights. I don't know who first had the idea to wrap trees in lights but it's a beautiful effect. And it helps us to see the trees and appreciate them.

Great night time shot. You really get the feel of the "old town" look of this area.

That is a beautiful picture! Sure beats shopping at a mall.

I used to love going to Scottsdale with my husband (when he was my husband) and browsing little shops in Old Town. He'd treat me to the storyteller of my choice without even looking at the price. And then he'd roll his eyes when the Amex bill came. I miss those days.

I like the night shot here. That's probably the most comfortable time of day there too. The lights around the trees are a nice touch.
