Chicago, Illinois (Edgewater neighborhood)
Nikon Coolpix P7700
The decoration was located in front of the house at 1449 West Granville Avenue, Chicago, Illinois (Edgewater).
Editing was done using ACDSee Ultimate 2020. I straightened the image and then adjusted the lighting and increased the contrast, clarity and vibrance. Then I made slight increase to the saturation and brightness in the greens and oranges, adjusted the levels and added a vignette.

No

This is not popular in my country, and I am not very handy with a knife, but I love enjoying the pumpkin carving art others make.
Me either. There is no one I could make one like these. I consider myself successful if I don’t lose a finger.
I always cut out pumpkins for Halloween. The pumpkins in the picture have a very special pattern.
I used to when my kids were young but I haven’t for quite some time. I was amazed at the detail on these. I was also surprised that the squirrels hadn’t gotten to them yet.
How beautiful, you always find the beauty Gary.
Thanks, Carol. I’m glad you like them.
We do not have this event here but I had an experience when I was holidaying in the US.
Those are pretty pumpkins.
I’m glad you had a chance to experience it.
Nice decorations and very well done…
I thought they did a great job also. I wish I could do that.
I like carved pumpkins but I have never carved one. We don’t celebrate Halloween. It is not a holiday specific to the Orthodox faith.
It’s not a religious holiday over here either. The name comes from All Hallows Eve, the night before All Saints Day. That’s a Roman Catholic holy day. (Do the Orthodox celebrate that also?)
What is Halloween, Can some one tell me in detail ?
It’s a minor holiday. People dress up in costumes and go to parties. It used to be that kids would wear costumes and go door to door. The people would give them candy. Unfortunately the number of sickos has made it too dangerous to do that. A lot of people decorate their houses with spooky decorations. It’s just a fun thing.
