After a gap of 2 years the Trail of Lights in Zilker Park was back this year in 2012. Consequently, there were a lot of people, I mean a LOT. I took these pictures on Tuesday, December 18 and the rush felt like it was saturday. Every dazzling light work and display was beautiful, but my favorite has to be the Elf Poster Artwork. Plus, thanks to the Food Trucks in Austin you could eat some good spicy Kababs, delicious Crepes, traditional Tex-Mex, Pizza, Deserts, Corn with chat masala, and more. Merry Christmas!
