Haven't posted in awhile, but thought others might enjoy this---taken while I was shooting for 'E10 Day'. Its a large atrium in one of the huge bank buildings in Charlotte. I have some other photos that aren't that great but give one the idea of how huge these ornaments were. I'll dig them out.

Here's one of the 'raising the balls"

and one more *smile* (forum post made me put something LOL)

Thats incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at the sheer size of those ornaments! Diane do you know what these are made out of????? God, I wouldn't want to try and hang one! Thats beautiful to see them hanging from that glass....WOW

WOW!!! Glad the ones I will put on the tree is smaller. lol The pics are GREAT. Thanks a bunch! Britt

Well they wouldn't use glass. So Plastic. Perhaps foam. But if it takes two people? Hmm. I would use foam. Thanks Picnic. good to see you survived you last sell ordeal! Watch out if a 3D person sees this they are going to steal you picture and try to recreate it in...Something. Bsteph

I don't know what they are made of--I was staying out of the way and at a distance so they wouldn't ask me to leave. They were pretty heavy though, it seemed. Having been a '3D person' myself, I can see it as a fun image to work on smile. Alpha--E10 Day was sort of patterned after that PHoto Day they had several years ago where photographers (selected ones as I remembere) were asked to sort of document their day--everybody, all over the world. Well, someone started this, everyone does their thing, loads to one web page, it shows a world map and you designate where on the map you are. Oh, and the E10 is really the Exx series of the Olympus digicams (so it really was Exx Day LOL). Diane
