NVPS\u2019s next field trip will be Saturday evening,&nbsp;December&nbsp;3, to practice night photography and to enjoy these lights and decorations. We will meet at 3:30 at the Torpedo Factory at the foot of King Street where we will be able to shoot the Alexandria Holiday Boat Parade of Lights. About 50 powerboats and&nbsp;sailboats will be lit up for this parade. Additionally, the District\u2019s fireboat, the John Glenn, should be&nbsp;spraying water 70 feet into the air. Those arriving earlier will have an opportunity to photograph the annual Scottish Walk parade that begins at 11:00 am.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Parking and crowds are likely to be issues during these events. Parking is available at a number of garages in the Old Town area, but spots in those may also be hard to get. Sign-up sheets at the meetings will provide the basis to carpool. Also, please let us know if you want to join us for dinner so that we are able to make a reservation at one of the area restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexandria\u2019s Old Town is a perennial favorite for Christmas, with the trees along King Street bedecked with lights and doors decorated with wreaths.
