the igloo of a million lights

i was forced to get out of the apartment earlier this evening. the temps were rather pleasant and i needed to get something at the pharmacy. i passed by this holiday display at the mall and stopped to take some shots. i've actually posted a photo of this in december 2017 but that was 3 years ago, so.... i got asked three times to take photos for people, and that's okay, glad to be of help.

i think i should try and get a month of night shots. or maybe not. i wonder though how this would look in a long exposure.

can't believe i started the new year and the new decade just lazing around the apartment sick. i hope i don't do that for the rest of the year!
Kind of looks like something out of Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory. I fear that if I walked in I'd come out on the other end transformed into a chipmunk. It's a neat capture though, and glad you got out of the house for a bit. Hope you're feeling better soon!

This is really pretty- must be fun to walk through too. I hope you're feeling better soon. I guess misery loves company since I am in the middle of a cold. No energy and unable to breathe!

@olivetreeann - it's really not fun, is it? i hate it when the cough is so bad you'd think i should be put in a sanitarium. my doctor prescribed a puffer (i think it's called?) but it was the same one my asmathic niece used when she was young and she just grew the size of gibraltar. i bought a bunch of nose strips from amazon to help me breathe at night and it did help. i was sold to the idea until i tried to remove it in the morning -- the glue was almost like crazy glue and i was panicking it wouldn't go off. needless to say, the rest of the strips remained untouched. :-D hope you feel better, too.

@summerfield No it's not fun! The best remedy this round seems to be eucalyptus in the diffuser, airborne and a tea by "Traditional Medicine" called Gypsy Cold Care (caffeine free). I've used those nasal strips in the past but I'm so conscious of them being on my nose I can't sleep. Never had a problem with the glue though. Get well soon!

@summerfield Of course! Shot of whiskey, Tablespoon of honey, Teaspoon of lemon juice. Nuke until warm, stir, toss it down. Climb into bed with 5 blankets (do NOT remove them no matter how hot or sweaty you get)....better in the AM ♥
