I guess this forum is as good as any other for this, inasmuch as the topic is basically architecture enhanced (if you're generous) by lighting....
The house in the images below is far and away the most obscene in terms of Christmas lighting anywhere near where I live. Every square foot of the house, including the roof is covered in equa-spaced lights. Front, back, sides, roof and they even wrapped the sign post on the corner of the property. Note that the lights are patterned red, green red, green...... No breaks in the pattern either.
While I had my Canon in the car, I didn't plan to take any photos after dark. Thus, I didn't have a tripod or even a monopod with me. So, I tried to hold the camera as steady as possible. The shot of the rear shows much more blur, but I had to hold the camera well above my head to shoot over the 6-foot fence surrounding the back of the home. I took that shot just to illustrate that EVERY square foot of the house was covered in lights. In the first image, note the Toyota Prius parked in front of the house (at the extreme left), as if this family was really thinking "green".
My regards,
Widewing
