2 December... what a...

...wet and awful day. And here's an awful shot to go with it!! ;o) No time or inspiration today. Much to my disgust we put up our Christmas decorations at least
two weeks earlier than I normally would! And of course the lights wouldn't work so
we had to scoot out in the rain to get some more... and when we got them home they
weren't like the picture on the box (multi coloured) but all BLUE! Grrrrr...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3
1/800s f/8.0 at 4.6mm iso100 full exif

Oh Nicky - poor you - chin up... maybe tomorrow it will be safe to wake up... nice shot

Put the blue lights in your boys room, I'm sure he'll love them. Cheer up!
Cindi Smith02-Dec-2007 22:39
Geez....what a pain! I put a wreath on the door....does that count? It will get better, Nicky!
Guest 02-Dec-2007 22:03
Sounds like a rough day, but I think the image is beautiful. A lovely, contrasty image from everyday life, really beautiful!
Guest 02-Dec-2007 22:02
It's not an awful shot at all. I like the grain and harsh lighting. And grr at the blue lights!
Guest 02-Dec-2007 21:54
You'll have to get a siren to go with the blue flashing lights. ;-)

Nice shot, good to see that you had sun today. Knowing how you love blue, I am sure you will find a use for the blue lights!
Al Chesworth02-Dec-2007 21:03
Superb contrasty image, love it.

Is that the family trying to get out of range of your camera ? LOL ! Great gritty shot !
M Williamson Lebon02-Dec-2007 19:51
Great!!!! VVV

That's why we have an artificial tree with built in lights... assemble, plug in, done ! I refuse to put it up till Xmas Eve though...

Love the mood of the post processing.

Sorry about the lights. I'm usually OK over the Holiday, but I have a spare 100 watt bulb in the house should my solitary white decoration fail ;-)

Too early for me - I'm waiting for more cold, frosty weather. Bet the blue looks pretty though. And our weather is lousy (now) as well. Chris
Zak02-Dec-2007 19:02
we had the same weather, have a word with Bev, 'Blue' for next weeks challenge... ;-)

JW02-Dec-2007 18:50
You'll look like a police station!!! ROTFL!! Ho Ho Ho!

Ours go up on about the 20th.. and thats too early for me :)
We have a garden centre in the village, so its easy to pop out for repacements / spares
Guest 02-Dec-2007 18:02
Aw. You could tell everyone you are having an Elvis Christmas :)

Oh! poor you.......some days don't you wish you'd stayed in bed??

Looks like you had more brightness than us! At least the blue lights should brighten you up.
