Adelaide: the city getting ready for Christmas

Lovely old, traditional buildings with classic iron lace adornments either from the 1800s or replicated to look so. Note the Christmas wreaths. It was 33 degrees!

 

A real Christmas tree couldn't have withstood the heat here so this is a huge, artificial one. I myself would prefer to decorate the gorgeous purple jacaranda beside it! However, the Christmas spirit is strong and getting stronger now that we're into December.
