I was driving out of Boston on the Jamaica Way this evening and as I drove by Jamaica Pond, I could see all these lights up ahead. As I turned onto the Arbor Way, I saw this unbelievably decorated house. I have it mapped in case anyone else wants to drive by. My first thought was that sandcastlematt must have been involved somehow. Here is a story on the house from the Boston Globe.
This photo was taken on December 1, 2007 in Jamaica Plain, MA, US, using a Nikon D40X.

I live 15 miles from this house, but at night I see a distinct glow in the southwestern sky . . .

I go by this house all the time on my way to the VA in JP. It takes months for crews to put this stuff up.
His neighbors hate him.
It is something to see and the traffic it creates.
Great Shot.

Wow! I hope you go back and shoot as he finishes adding all the lights. Thank you so much for the link to the story in the Boston Globe, fascinating reading. I'm glad, however, that it's not my next door neighbor :-)

Stunning. Thanks Paul for sharing this wonderful display and capturing it so perfectly.
halmorgan (66 months ago | reply)
Nice! This is one of my favorite spots and it looks like I was there with my camera right after you. You got an excellent angle and caught the brilliance of the show. (I'm looking for other good displays to visit if anyone has tips.)

whoa - congratulations on the wonderful shot Paul. And I haven't been to JP in years, I promise... The budget for those light alone must be incredible.
neonlike (66 months ago | reply)
wow!! As if there aren't enough distractions for Jamaicaway drivers. That's amazing. Wonder what the electric bill will be?
casey (66 months ago | reply)
