I have posted before about Solvang, which I last visited in summer. I was back in this lovely town just few days ago, quick stop on the way back home after a longer visit to Death Valley.

The Christmas spirit is still around and can be felt in all of the shops and stores windows.

Although unchanged from my last visit, Solvang still captures me in its quiet and friendly streets. I think a nice way to close the year.
