VALAAH!!   Color! I did not try any night photos of my yard this year because my trusty old SLR has been in the repair shop. This color photo does show a little more detail than the Black and Whites, but you don't get the scary feel. On Halloween I draped the front of my home with black plastic so it was hidden completey.  You can see Neenah my FCG much better, and maybe my "Spooky Old Tree", a little better. I think I will put a higher contrasting paint on my tree so that it can be seen better. There is a speaker in the tree, along with in the Mummys coffin, but I saw a Howl2000 member that has speakers inside of rocks that I think I will add this year. This year I am also planning on doing something with the garage area, which is on the left side of the front of the house. It has been neglected in the past because of the cars, but this is Halloween, let's get rid of those cars! I would love to hear your comments on what you see, or what you would like to see. Email me directly, or even better, sign my guestbook and leave your comments there for all to see. Thanks for visiting, and even better, thanks for making it to the end of my rambling script. You have ventured further than many before you.  Let's keep Halloween out of the Shopping Malls. If you live in the city, go to the suburbs and Trick or Treat. If you live in the suburbs, it is your responsibility to make Halloween a fun and safe time for kids and adults alike.  I hope you do too! Thanks again, Sin-fully yours, Darkpainter
