MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL IPERNITY!!! Inspired by the Griswald family of the1989 movie CHRISTMAS VACATION the Medhurst family of Greeley, Colorado illuminates their home annually during the Christmas season with thousands of lights and other decorations. The display is on a 30 minute cycle which is synced to a low power radio broadcast which starts with only a few of the lights flashing and builds to the climax seen here. Thousands visit every year as testified to by the numerous shadows. View is due east.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL IPERNITY !!! This neighborhood Christmas decoration is anchored in the front yard of a home almost at the sidewalk and stretches up and back to the peak of the roof gable about 30 feet (10m). The dimmed lights in the second floor windows are just visible behind the middle of the tree. View is to the north. A very similar photo was previously posted here. I found it to be unsatisfactory because of an uneven black background; I had not removed all the lights and shadows from the house behind the decoration. However, I had already submitted the previous photo to the December, 2017 Contest Without Prize, theme "Christmas creations / sceneries" as entry #23. After the conclusion of the contest I replaced that photo with one above.
