Christmas in the port

.

Christmas activity in Livorno’s old port is high. Sorting the reds from the greens, getting everything ready in time. Busy, busy!

.

.

Some have more work than others. Why do these Christmassy thingies always tangle so terribly?

.

.

Still, all is well in the end. Everything is in place, the velvety reds dominate the decorations and there is peace and order.
Let Christmas begin!
