I lived in the fire lookout tower. Since this was in the wilderness, off grid, I used my 2-kW generator to power the Christmas lights. The fire lookout lights are propane.

My idea of what peace in the world looks like. Wishing everyone here on DU the peace reflected in this picture. Hope your holidays are wonderful and the new year brings us all relief from the chaos now consuming DC.

This photo should be on a Christmas card. I wonder how many wild animals saw this lighted tree and stopped to watch? Thanks for posting. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.
