This is (more or less) what the tree looks like in the dark. I was playing with some different settings on my camera and I kind of liked the reddish tone to this pic so I decided to use it.
You can see a pic of the tree taken with flash, which gives more details, in my Fun Fotos album at: http://365project.org/marilyn/fun-fotos/2011-12-02
@2thgirl Thank you... we had to go artificial many years ago because we heated with a wood stove (now a pellet stove) and a real tree dried out so fast I could only have it up for about a week and I like to enjoy it longer than that.
