    I've begun setting up some of my props in the yard...was busy working on the arches for too long (just can't get the stone texturing right on them...going with what I have for this year...will improve it for next year).

    (just for reference, the peaks of those arches are 10' above the ground - 6 foot columns, and 4 foot arches. Columns are a purchase, arches are hand made)

    I'll be adding some tombstones, a couple full Buckies and my suspended skelly-ghost in the next couple of days...will add more pics then (hopefully less blurry ones).


    Daytime shot:


    And some night-time shots (sorry for the blur):

    2009 photos and 2008 photos ...uhmmm...and what I have evolving...

    Thank you!!
    I will have more added tomorrow, and a bit more during the week, so hopefully it'll look a bit more Halloween-ish as the week wears on.

    **sigh**
    Those arches were so amazing in my mind's eye, but just don't measure up to what I imagined.
    Thankfully, I have a year to improve them!

    Thanks for the compliments, everyone...next year, if I can help it, those arches will be larger and a bit more ornate.
    It helps that we have a new Home Depot opening up (on Halloween) a couple of miles from my house - I know where I'll be spending all my time and money.

    And the scarecrow? Hehe...it's 3 years old now, and is outside in the elements all year long in my backyard (strapped to the side of my shed) - makes for some wonderful weathering! I have a nice warm spot in my cold heart for that one...glad you like it! Thank you!

    I don't see any problems with your columns and arches, but I know what it's like to have a vision in mind and you just don't see it yet. Nice lighting too.
