Tall tree wrapped with white lights.
I love this tall tree wrapped with Christmas lights, but I am glad I didn’t have to climb it to do the wrapping. This year, you can find three wrapped tall trees at the corner of South Mountain Avenue and Ivy Lane. (photo by Peter Finkle, 2019)

    Great mix of lighting designs! Sorry you missed me and some of my neighbors on Tolman Creek Road.. I have a mix of vintage and new holiday lights and figurals (I.e. angels, gingerbread guy, polar bear,, frowning penguin, Santa’s, snowmen)..

      Celeste,
      I am glad you found some that were unusual and fascinating. I try to see “the ordinary” in fresh ways as I take photos around town.
