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!

Thanks for the photo of the eclipse. It was too overcast with clouds here last night to even SEE the moon, let alone the eclipse. I was really disappointed!

It was pure good luck that it happened early enough for my camera to make the shot in the bright city light. Most people walked by wondering what the hell I was doing standing on the bridge taking photos -- they all looked down onto the railway, despite me pointing the camera up.
