ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「From Bethlehem, North Carolina, to Jolly, Texas, Americans across the country were closing out this tumultuous year with celebrations of joy, faith and new beginnings.⁣ ⁣ After 3 months on the East Coast covering the final stretch of an election turned upside down by a pandemic, our photographer Ruth Fremson had a long drive home to Washington State. She weaved her way across the U.S., through Frostburg, Maryland; Antlers, Oklahoma; and Garland, Texas, looking for signs of the season.⁣ ⁣ “Blowup snowmen boldly declared that Christmas was coming,” @fremson writes. “Homes were wrapped in twinkling lights. In small towns, people cared for sick neighbors. Tourist venues, revered for their end-of-year festivities, found ways to open despite the pandemic. Living Nativities, menorah lightings and holiday music revues were held outdoors. People donned masks and came, eager to get out and participate.”⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in our bio to read Fremson’s account of her road trip and to see the scenes she captured of a holiday season that shone bright in dark times.⁣ ⁣」12月26日 3時08分
