HUH?!?!
did you use the words "Luminaries", "Illumination" and "Luminary in one post?!
Would you like a thesaurus for your holiday of choice? |

South Orange looked great on New Year's! We had my parents over, who live out of town, and they were very impressed with the fireworks display (I never remembered them going on for so long on New Year's) and the luminaries, not to mention the beautiful neighborhoods we drove them around to see. Thanks to everyone who contributed time and money for the luminaries and to whoever organized the fireworks display. |

The Village Colonials Neighborhood Association area - the 8 or so blocks near Underhill field - was in good glow. I was a captain for this area and we had over 400 luminarias glowing.
Besides delivering flyers about this to my neighbors (and posting here on December 1), our active neighborhood association has an e-mail listserv which made publishing info/reminders a bit easier.
So if you didn't get a flyer, and didn't read about it in the Gaslight or News Record, if you have a neighborhood association, post here with info now and we will work through your association next year to get more info out to them. However, the ideal is to have someone on each block volunteer to distribute flyers about it to each neighbor...if nothing else, you connect with your neighbors. |

Our small street, Underhill Road, which is not near Underhill field, did OK and we hope to do even better next year with all of our new neighbors.
The kids had a lot of fun. Ours were up at 4:30, lit at 5:00 PM sharp and lasted into the new year.
Count us in for next year. |

Dan- They just don't make cameras like they used to, do they?

S.O.D.A.,
Are you trying to make some sort of point here? If so please spell it out. I do not have time to analyze your rapier wit.
I certainly could have photoshopped the shot but why make a nighttime activity look like day?
Or are you just showing off your many talents? If so, you have my permission to use the photo by printing it and putting it on your fridge for your worldwide audience to see. Sort of like being published.
I can even send you the original jpeg or raw format.
As for cameras, I think they are a bit like word processors, just a tool that in the hands of the right person can generate works of art but in the hands of the untalented, no matter how good the tool, merely processors of words or images.
Happy New Year.
PS - often times in photoshoping, less is more.

Dan: Why am I not surprised by your minor over-reaction to my harmless little attempt at improving the pic you posted? I've done it before on other threads here on MOL (including the unsolicited-spiffing up of the avatars of several regulars), and have never received the sort of nasty response you just gave me.
If you don't think the re-work was an improvement, fine. If you don't think it was called for, fine. I did. Bite me. And Happy New Year.
-s.
BTW: MHD certainly has a low threshold for LOL... |

I've been a block captain for the last two years and our street looked very nice, yet again.
Thanks to SO Illuminations! Floods Hill looked lovely when I drove my 5 y-o daughter around town to see all the luminaries. |
