C'est l'Halloween

In case you're interested, the title of this post is inspired by a French song we heard every year in elementary school: C'est l'Halloween by Matt Maxwell.

Last year I shared a homemade Halloween decoration - it was amazing and crafted with love. This year the same neighbours put up another decoration: I think it's a big spider.

It's a lot more elaborate than last year's, and unfortunately the only photos I have of it are some daylight shots post heavy rainfall when it fell apart; and a badly lit night shot that I tried enhancing in Lightroom Mobile. Still, this was an amazing homemade decoration and I look forward to what they'll come up with next year.

All photos were taken with my Samsung Galaxy S21+ rear camera, using the 64MP setting.

A homemade Halloween decoration. It is some sort of monster with eight legs - perhaps a mutated spider. The technique used to make it is papier mâché. ƒ/2.0, shutter speed 1/50, focal length 5.9mm, ISO 25.
