It's a bit of an annual tradition of ours. An annual tradition of theirs is to add one new piece every year, and it's gotten to the point now where they've had to open a new parking lot farther away since the new displays are encroaching on the old lot. One sad change this year was that a fire last month burned down the hall, which had a large window-walled seating area so you could view the grounds in the warmth of the room if it was blustery out. They also served free hot cocoa to all visitors, and it was just so cozy and nice. To their credit - and the credit of the patrons and local community - they still erected the entire display and ran power to it, even though the main building remained a roped off charred pile in the center of it all.On a photography note, the last several years I've taken either my original D3300 or later my D5500. I've posted some of the shots here, also. They were ok. But this year I took my D500 and MAN! what a difference. The low light focusing ability of that thing is soooo gooood. And certainly much less noise at the same ISO levels I was using previously. I guess it's to be expected, but it's one thing to know it theoretically. It's another to actually experience it. Especially the focus speed and accuracy. I was blown away.
