      Very beautiful. Did you string the lights on yourself? I wonder how this would look in b/w.

    13. Akfirebug (67 months ago | reply)

      Yes, I put the lights up a week before we dipped down to the -20 mark. Good thing too cause the lights wire can't be moved around much at those temps. I never thought about seeing it in B&W hmmmmm

    14. Chatdurouge (67 months ago | reply)

      Where do you plug them in? Do you have a long extension cord? Because this shot looks like it was taken in the middle of the woods, so I've always wondered about Christmas light setups like that.

      Saw this in Christmas at Night

    15. Akfirebug (67 months ago | reply)

      I have set an outlet on the power pole and used a 100 foot extension cord.

      This is so pretty ... looks like it could be here right now in Langley, BC. Except we are not at -20 than goodness. Now, after our foot and a half of snow today and it is wet and slick, they're calling for rain ... a lot ... here come the floods. A slushy mess for awhile.
