I'm doing some color conversions this morning and I ran across this image. To me these colors are simply beautiful:
Gorgeous. Blue is very soothing.
Looks like something Bob Ross could have painted.
Yes, and thankfully without the ginormous tree in the forefront which would end up covering half the beauty already painted.
I know Bob loved his happy little trees, but I would be bothered sometimes when he'd cover so much of his work with a big, dark tree in front.
Sometimes less is more.
The Northern lights are reaching as far down as New York... not quite far enough for me.

This is an amazing tree from Stonington, CT. It's a lobster trap Christmas tree. I can't post the best images I've seen, so these will have to do.

The 24-foot-high "tree" is made from 378 lobster traps and decorated with 360 buoys painted by artists and students. It is an homage to Christmas and to the Stonington fishing fleet.

East London's "knocker-uppers" paid to shoot peas at windows to wake up over sleepers so they didn't lose their jobs.
Mary Smith, a famous knocker-upper in London's East End, shot dried peas out of a pea shooter instead of a pole. She charged a sixpence a week for her pea-shooting service.Some knocker-uppers simply banged on doors to wake up their customers, but they found that by doing this they were also waking up their customer's neighbours for free.Mary Smith's pea shooting method solved this problem, as they tap of peas on the window was loud enough to wake up the clients without disturbing anyone else on the street.She became one of the most beloved characters in the East End in the 1930s, with her nearest competition being a knocker-upper three miles away who used a fishing rod to tap on the windows.She was so loved, that she had her own children's book written and named after her.

Pity how modernity has taken away all these wonderful little jobs.
