7.15p.m. - Its Christmas season and I managed to catch these elves in Brunei busily packing and getting ready the presents. So get ready the stockings too. There is another shot from a different angle at WS
This display was put up by a company selling cars along Gadong Road for the Christmas season. It is a hit among small children, taking a shot with the elves.

I will be off for a two weeks Xmas break and would like to wish everyone who is celebrating this occasion a Merry Christmas. May it bring Peace and Cheer to everyone.

Hej Aloysius,
Fine captured of those funny elves! Well composed and with nice colours, but the top left hand corner is a bit too dark. Good work anyway! Merry Christmas!
Hilsner,

Hi Aloysius. This is certainly a fun Christmas shot. Have a nice Christmas and we'll see you back in a few weeks. tfs Aloysius!

Hi Aloysius,
Nice one! Busy they are indeed... Like so many these days... Here it is snowing now, I guess you don't see much of that stuff in your place..! But your elves are universal and very much alike all over the world... Here nicely captured and taking our thoughts to the season to come...
Regards,

The light and the colors are great... A Xmas shot in a Xmas mood and style.
Well composed.

Hi ALoysius,
A good night view and a fitting seasonal post with nice lighting and colors, I have to say I find your elves quite Dysneyesque !
I wish you a nice vacation,
Jean-Yves

Hi Aloysius, good to show the festive seasons especially everyone is busy shopping. The elve on the left side seems a bit dark. Perhaps turning on the flash might help ?
Enjoy your long holidays.

Hi Aloysius,
Funny Christmas elves. I wish you a merry Christmas and hope to see you back in 2006.
groet Rob
