tonight was the snowman lighting at cornerstone sonoma.

we arrived shortly after four o'clock...
and lucked up on a parking spot...
as the place was packed.

we wandered around...
got some tickets for some of the booths that they had....
and i took a few photos...
waiting for the lighting at 6 o'clock.

once the snowmen were lit...
kids (big and small) played amongst them.

today...
my photography meetup group went to the paramount theatre in oakland.
we were given a tour...
and allowed to take photographs.

there was SO much to see.

i've been to the paramount numerous times...
but this was the first time it wasn't overflowing with people...
and i was really able to look around.

if you've ever been there (or if you haven't)...
and would love a closer look...
they offer two tours a month.
