The problem with shooting Christmas lights, and neon lights, is exposure control. It's necessary to get close, or get a spotmeter reading, so that the lights stand out, but then just bracket.
If one exposes for the dark areasm then the lights become too bright; if one exposes for the lights, then the surrounding areas are darker. Trying to find a happy medium is, as you say, a pain, sometimes.

Thanks for your remarks. This almost the way it actually is. The lights are a bit yellowish, maybe due to the film, which was Velvia 100, I think. But the whole area is well lighted, and quite attractive; patrolled by police so no danger of being bothered.
In the winter, Christmas lights are added so I hope to go back and get a view of the same place that may look different.
