Of course, it's a tragedy that Christmas decorations appear in November. In Ireland in the past, nothing Christmassy appeared until the 8th of December.

My grandfather, John Westerfield, was one of the local electricians who donated his time to restore it with modern electrical components in the early 80s. Since then, it has been displayed on the side of one of Fort Wayne?s tall buildings every year. I made two photos of it last night, just 8 minutes apart, but greatly different in light, as the day was fading away fast. http://chriscrawfordphoto.com/chris-details.php?product=2569 http://chriscrawfordphoto.com/chris-details.php?product=2568 -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
