Franklin Road Christmas Lights 2012
19th December 2012
Every year most of the people who live on and the businesses that operate from Franklin Road in Ponsonby, Auckland, decorate their homes or business with Christmas lights and decorations. It has become a yearly Christmas tradition to visit Franklin Road in December for lots of people, and the road is always very busy after dusk with people walking and with cars painfully slowly making their way up or down Franklin Road.
I usually go with family members, rather than with friends, and my eldest niece in particular really enjoys going. With my niece we usually make a point of going to see the Telecom Christmas Tree, which is always set up in Victoria Park and is very close to Franklin Road making it very easy to do both in one evening.
These are the photos I took from the car, (I wasn't driving :) ), as we went down Franklin Road towards Victoria Park.
