Advent-ures in advent!

To those on my flist who celebrate Yule at the solstice, I hope you all have a wonderful day! 

Today is a bit auspicious, astrologically speaking: both the solstice and a lunar eclipse. I took a photo of the eclipse just after moonrise in Sydney, sadly a little after totality (couldn't be seen from here), though, having said that, there'd be little point taking a photo at a total eclipse ...



As to the fabbo Christmas lights we saw the other night, here's a shot:


The tree is made of LED flex with hazard lights and recycled plastic cones over orange hazard mesh:


And the trunk is old milk crates:


It's champion!

I think it needs to be more properly night for the red effect, rather than late twilight as it was here. All we were expecting from people who were in the parts of the country where the moon rose earlier was a red ring around the umbra, which my crappy camera would not have caught.
