blue Christmas by summerfield

blue Christmas

this 42-foot tree of spheres sits on the edge of dundas square in downtown toronto. it is made of spheres/orbs lit with thousands of energy-efficient led lights that change colours every so often. it is a creation of Blachere Illumination, the same company that lit up the eiffel tower during its millenium celebration.

a very sloppy processing was done to clone out the pylons in three places at the base of the tree. i was also going to clone out the sign that says "please do not touch the holiday tree" but that's a huge undertaking.

-o0o-

had a meeting tonight with my editor. i need to get my ass going on my writing. i probably should take a class in novel writing so i don't stray again.

maybe i will.

maybe i won't!
Pretty.

Wow colours....!! I don't think the sign detracts from the photo too much as the tree is so imposing!
