The Magic Tree

[bikefreax]

Just thought I would share a picture I did. It is a tree this guy decorates every year with a bunch of lights. This year it had over 76,000 lights. It took him 160 hours to finish. Funny as I think this photo is nothing extroadinary but I have sold 7 prints to date. Not a lot of money but never thought I would sell that many of this print.

Interesting photo. 160 hours and 76K lights? Dang that's a lot of work...

Yep, he adds to it each year also. Pictures do this tree no justice. It is amazing in person.

Why didn't you post this for the holidays... It's pretty. Nice.

I thought I did but it must have been a different forum. The first one was not as nice as it was right after he finished and it had a bunch of ladders under the tree.

that looks like somethin that would be in a pink floyd music video.

Crazy, and very cool.

When I read the topic I was reminded of the Magic Faraway Tree book I loved growing up.

How has the thing not caught on fire by now? Haha. Very impressive photo, love the light being cast onto the ground.

Psychedelic Xmas tree Must be awfully expensive to have those 76,000 bulbs sucking energy, unless they're LEDs...

Must be something to see ha

 

[bikefreax]

He estimates it will cost $200 per month and yes a lot of them are LED's.
