Super sunday and the ryder cup out in the fresh air on the decking…….if carlsberg did sundays

Couldn't decide which was best. I particularly liked the blue window.

Despite the inclement weather, the beach was very busy with sunbathers.

Washing the commuter in the dark so it wouldn't look too disreputable on the way to work the next morning.

And now for something completely different. Though it remains more than a month away, here in the midwest of the USA people are gearing up for what is probably considered the 2nd most popular holiday (besides Christmas). Halloween. Don't know if any or all on this forum celebrate. But people dress up in costumes, go to parties, kids dress up in costumes and go trick or treating door-to-door and get candies. The number of households that decorate in some fashion is remarkably high. And what kids don't like free candy? So we were out on a bike ride and I took a quick picture of one of the houses which is almost completely decorated (more than a month away from the holiday.) Enjoy a little taste of halloween in the midwest. I'll try and post some better ones as they pop up.

There is one very specific neighborhood in the city which draws nearly 5,000 children and their parents every year. We know one of the families and they say some families spend upwards of $1000 on candies for children, Not to mention the energy spent on decorative sets in their yards.

I found a highlight video on youtube if you anyone wants to see from a few years ago. Cheers!

It is very much an American thing that has gradually crept in here as an 'event'. Luckily I live in a flat and can switch the intercom to silent.

I get two votes as it is without repeating the process...
