A few more pictures indicative of the season I took while in London. These are some of the lights from the display at Covent Gardens, which was completely transformed from the way it normally looks. The first is one of the entrance ways around the edge of this shopping center that is older than my entire country. You would actually enter through one of the archways to the left and cross through an equivalent archway on the right to get inside the mall area, but I liked the visual effect of looking down the hallway perpendicular to traffic. The second image is inside the main mall, which they filled with giant Christmas ornaments and a couple of disco balls to flash highlights all over them. It was quite impressive.
I gathered a ton of Halloween stuff to post about, and the day did an end run right around me and was gone that quick! At this point, I don’t care; I am going to post stuff anyways, even if I did miss out on getting it for the day itself. This particular image is what you get when you carve a pumpkin to look like Bender, wrap it in tin foil, and let it be photographed into something that can be used to create a drawing, in this case a pencil sketch.
Hope this spooktacular night is finding you up to your neck in fun. Happy Halloween, everyone! The picture started life being a yard near my local grocery store, I took a photo and converted it to this.
Happy New Year to one and all; if you are reading this, you made it to 2013, congratulations! I am happy to report there is no avatar of me in a diaper to use for New Years, so I am using this image of my avatar in London instead. I hope everyone gets to have the kind of quality year we all dream of, with lots of positive things happening for all of us!
This being Xmas Day, I hope you and yours are somewhere warm and protected (or cool and protected if you are in the southern hemisphere), and enjoying today with close friends and family. You deserve every bit of quality time the Universe can offer; So Say We All!
