Nocturnal Autumnal Carthage

It's the mid-point in the Halloween season and evening drives about town can be rewarding from now until whenever your neighbors take their Christmas stuff down. Handy how the power cords one lays out for Halloween can be used for Christmas lights, too. If only there were more Thanksgiving lights to fill the gap.

This scene was in Carthage, Missouri, exactly a year ago during their Maple Leaf Festival. See more of that, if you like.
