Last week, I photographed more cute dogs at the BrandBox 2019 Holiday Puppies event in Tysons Corner Center. Similarly to the last event with the Wolf Trap Animal Rescue, you had an opportunity to cuddle with puppies! In contrast to last time, the pet area was out in the middle of the hallway as the BrandBox lounge has made way for another store opening soon. Being so close to the holidays, there were Christmas trees surrounding the area, and Santa made an appearance. Another set of dogs were available for people to pick up, cuddle, and put on the list for Santa. It is so heartening to see the work that the members of the WTAR put into caring for these dogs!

Tysons Corner Center

Last week was 2019 Black Friday – the busiest shopping day at Tysons Corner Center. In light of it being a couple of years since I have been here the day after Thanksgiving, it was a spectacle! The Macerich marketing team wanted me to get some great images specifically of the crowds. In general, there was no area inside that was not filled with shoppers. Moreover, there was significant traffic coming into the center in cars!

The open area overlooking the levels from the 3rd Floor Food court is an especially nice viewpoint. Because of the nice large skylight windows, this sunny day really had a lot of light streaming in. Hopefully everyone braved the conditions and finished all their shopping!

Kris Allen 2019 Christmas Tree Lighting

The Plaza – Tysons, VA

Kris Allen returned to Tysons for the 2019 Christmas Tree Lighting event. Prior to this year, he had visited in 2016 at the holidays for the same occasion. Still I don’t think Santa thinks that Kris will be stealing his job anytime soon! In contrast to the last time Kris performed, the weather was markedly colder out on the Plaza.

Plaza Christmas Tree

While the concert was still going on, I walked through the Plaza away from the Concourse. Straightaway you can see the beautiful curving urban design of the space. Previously, I made my favorite image of the Plaza from this fire pit. Although the sky did not have the nice blue color that the original had, I still attempt to get this photo every year. When all the lights on the tree are lit, and combined with the colored light on the Hyatt, it just looks like the holidays in Tysons. So maybe this is a new Christmas tradition for me? What kinds of photos do you look forward to making every year?
