In Zofingen was a Christmas market at the weekend (4.-6.12.2015). My wife is crazy about Christmas markets, so we were there on saturday evening and on sunday afternoon. Weather was ok, temperature between +3 and +11. Sadly no snow but luckily no rain. Lots of people, as you can say in finnish "porukkaa oli kuin pipoa" straight translation would be something like "people were many as stocking caps".
And of course I had my camera with me. Dark late evening was a little bit of a challenge for me and for my camera. I don't like to use flash light, so i had to grank up my ISO setting quite high, but i got some nice basic Christmas market shots :-)

| I'm sorry, i can't remember the name of this band, but they played quite nice chill out music. And they had a long gig, many hours during the days. You have to have a good lungs. They were also selling their CD's. I Didn't buy, I don't even have a CD-player anymore :-) - Zofingen Christmas market 5.12.2015 (19:40) |

That was our Christmas market in Zofingen, we had to leave early, because we invited our naighbour family to a small snack dinner with our family to our home. I think we had enough snacks to eat, but there were thirteen of us, all very hungry, so you need to have something, and leftovers you can always eat on the next day. We had fun and all were happy with full stomachs. It's always nice to have a dinner together with your friends and family.
