All alone

It’s very odd – this is virtually the only large Halloween decoration I’ve seen in our neighborhood, whereas last year and in particular the year before that, they were everywhere.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Apple iPhone X
1/17s f/2.4 at 6.0mm iso160 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Fantastic! I like how she is looking at it. V

Maybe the neighborhood kids have all grown up. Haven't had one trick or treater tonight!

The woman looking at the display adds a lot to this Halloween image. Indeed, it is odd that fewer residents are celebrating the holiday this year. With the homes close together for kids to trick or treat, it would be nice to have more festive decorations. I've enjoyed your photos from past years. In our neighborhood, I've mainly seen a couple of skulls hanging from trees... fake skulls I assume and not real shrunken heads. But with our neighbors, who knows?

A very cool display !! Too bad the community isn't into it - we've enjoyed your shots in other years. V

It's pretty clear that her dog doesn't want to go anywhere near that thing. >:o)

If that's Wonka's chocolate factory I'd be trick or treating there for sure!

The woman seems stopped in her tracks after seeing the decorations. V

Looks good and should get lots more looks if its the only one around.

That's a big one! Is that Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory there? V

I like it! Wouldn't mind having one of these. Nice image with the woman gazing at the decorations. V

I like the way you caught the woman looking at this gigantic creature! Perhaps the fad for very large decorations is over? V

it has such a presence, as apparently noted by the passerby..
