Christmas Lights at Cheekwood

On Friday, December 4, I toured the beautifully decorated Cheekwood art museum and botanical gardens. The day was overcast and wintry. As we entered the lobby, I asked at the desk for permission to photograph the Christmas trees and other decorations, and got a yes. In general, photographs are not allowed of the museum's collection of paintings and sculptures. Below, a snowman was keeping warm on one of the terraces:
