My favorite holliday is less than a week away, time for the 2019 edition of Halloween Photo Fun.
.
I wanted the theme for my Halloween Picture this year to be Spooky Trees, but this turned out to be a harder task than I imagined.
.
I have six excellent Spooky Trees that I made from Woodland Scenics old metal “Dead Trees” that I sculpted faces onto using Kneadatite. However, I had a really hard time composing a scene with these that would photograph well.

After six days of different attempts, this is the best I could come up with:

Please share any Halloween themed picture in this thread, and have lots of fun. Halloween is all about fun.
It’s Halloween already? wow, time is getting away from me. This diorama of the Lyon Mountain mine (on display in the Lyon Mt. depot) looks kinda spooky.
I’m a bit sad that I don’t have young kids to take trick or treating any more, and it’s not because I miss raiding their stashes. I enjoyed those moments meeting the neighbours and watching my kids be polite very much!
Now what really has my shorts in a knot is that my son and his wife are throwing a huge Halloween party tonight and we weren’t invited!!! How’s that for gratitude for freezing my butt off several times taking him around the neighbourhood (the end of October in Ontario can be quite chilly!)
We have stopped handing out candy because there are no sidewalks on our side of the street and we feel that it is too dangerous to expect the kids to cross the street in the dark. Everyone else on our side of the street stopped doing it years ago. Too bad, it was fun. Fattening, but fun!
I recently built an expansion and added a haunted house on a hill, with an old wood covered bridge, pumpkin patch with scarecrow and another creepy graveyard. I get a lot of compliments on the dead, creepy trees… My secret is: They are roots from weeds and bushes. I just pull some dead weeds from the ground, clean off the roots, let them dry and then trim them up and mount them to the layout! Its free and it gets me out of the train room for a little fresh air. Cheers!
