First Night Portsmouth

It was *freezing* and nearly deserted, just a small group of people dancing around by the church in Market Square, something going on inside the church, and something going on at the Beth Israel synagogue (lights were on, people were going in, someone had a guitar). I walked down to the park by myself, which was creepily deserted.

First Night parties have not been that hopping the past two or three years, it seems to be dying out. We didn't stay long, it was just too cold.

Some of the pictures are shaky because I was using someone else's camera.
