Funny, but only for those of us that remember when the ornaments were made of glass. Now, at least here in the USA, they all many seem to be made of aluminium! They dent, but do not shatter. Safety!
Added: Safety ornament...

In Japan, when we harvest the fruits from a tree, we leave one fruit to wish for a rich harvest for the next year. The left fruit is called "Ki-mamori", meaning "Patron for the tree". The left fruit is also offered to the birds who may suffer from the scarcity of food in cold season.

Coooool… thanks for the story, Akira! :P

The electrical installation looks like California, South India and other third world countries ,😂🤣🤣😂
German engineering fails to comprehend

That is well understandable. This is the result of the lack of systematic consideration and the art of improvisation. ;D :o ;D :o

Akira, "Ki-mamori" is such a beautiful idea. Subtle and considerate. I feel so many times I´m part Japanese :o or powerfully attracted to it.
Frank, you should have had a shock with the cables in Albaycin neighborhood ;D ;D ;D

Thank you, Paco. We might share the intimacy with the nature.

That would be serious, both mentally and electrically.

Akira-San, this is a lovely tradition and thank you for sharing it with us.
It reminds me a little of Italian wine makers that each year tie up a bunch of fresh grapes to the ceiling of their winery at the start of each wine making season to honour Saint San Martino, the Italian patron and Saint of the wine makers. The old bunch from the previous season is take down and retired as the new bunch is hung up.

Hugh, thank you for an interesing additional info. Apparently this kind of appreciation of the harvest originates from some sort of animism whose remanance can be felt in various parts of the world, even in the Western countries.

Indeed! May I suggest to tweak the °K on the tires so to
lose the yellow from the street lamps?

I did struggle with white balance on the parade photos I took. I don't have a good PP program. I use freeware: Photoscape X and Nikon's Capture NX-D. Even with the white balance adjusted cool enough to make the rest of the scene look unnatural, there was still a yellow reflection on the tires. To be honest, I don't mind the white balance in the photo as posted. To me, it conveys the mood of being lit by the streetlights and renders the image as I remember seeing it.
This is just my opinion, of course. Does the overall scene look too warm, or is it just the reflections off the tires that are distracting?
Thanks for any input,
Bob

Hi Bob.
Unfortunately, the suggested tweak may only be performed through
an adjustment layer.
Here an attempt to tweak the shot hoping to increase its impact…
Have a good time!

Much better... thank you!
After the holidays I will make a decision on which post-processing software to purchase. I am not a computer person and I remember struggling with the Photoshop elements software I had installed on my PC. I'm a Mac user these days and will likely choose Lightroom. I have much more research and opinion-gathering to do before making a choice.
Stay sharp,
Bob

Glad you like it! :P

Not after the holidays… if you're like me, you'll be broke! ;D
I'll give you mine right away: investigate Capture One v.12! :)
I've been using it for many years and most my students too!

Many thanks Daniel and Akira!
I had planned shooting orbs with an old Minolta 50mm but the hexagonal pattern came out more interesting with the way the light was arranged on the building. I should have used a tripod however..
To quote yourself, Akira: "Limitation is inspiration." ;D
