Photo taken 1/9/9 @ 6:45 pm while stopped at a stop sign with a car honking behind me - it's out of focus and clearly not my fault, given the circumstances!
See how the house on the right is glowing - and I do mean glowing - green? That's because the house on it's left has a ginormous green Hollywood-style flood lamp in the left-hand corner of their lawn. It throws "pretty" green shadows on it's home that are counteracted by the purple shadows thrown by the ginormous purple flood lamp in the right-hand corner of the lawn. The loser in all this light display? See how the house on the right is glowing - and I do mean glowing - green??
Don't you wish your neighbor had a year-round spotlight
display spilling over onto your home, too?

xoabb
expect anything!
This isn't against the law in your town? It should be!
ReplyDeleteGreen and purple? Oh, my! Does it look like a big giant bruise?
ReplyDeleteWhere is that???
ReplyDeleteThis is awful! I would think the other houses would have a right to complain. We hear about "noise pollution"...what about "light pollution"? One reason we moved out in the "country" was to escape the street lights and such so you can see the stars at night. I get so irritated when people out here want to add lots of outdoor light. Our nearest neighbor decided to add spot lights to his barbecue area....I hate them, but luckily there are some pine trees between us that block most of it. There is no reason for them to be on all the time.
ReplyDeleteOMG, that's horrible, that's why I like Home Owners Associations! lol Yes, I know, some of the HOA's can be a little obnoxious too, but at least there aren't glowing houses in the neighborhood! Yikes!!
ReplyDeleteHow awful to be the non self-appointed alien house in the neighborhood? But I must say, the picture was worth being honked at. I'll have to post the picture of the spite snowman that was in my neighborhood - nearly as obnoxious as the alien house.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I think I could take care of that with my slingshot. Okay, maybe my pellett gun.
ReplyDelete;-)
...Egads! The stuff people come up with! There should be some kind of city ordinance against that...
ReplyDelete...Have a great weekend!
...Blessin's... :o)
Yepper, they better be glad that I am not the green house. It would be front page news about the death of a neighbor due to spotlight abuse!
ReplyDeleteOk, what's this person's thinking? Why does he have the flood lamps there? And why 2? Is he trying to ward off jerks that want to break in to his house? I wonder what the green house owner says about it? hmmm! Strange
ReplyDeleteYou're kidding, right?
ReplyDeleteOy oy oy.... that's just wrong. I just know I would be very unhappy and probably would have a few words with somebody about that if it was my neighbour! Sheesh!!
ReplyDeleteI've got one word for you. Wirecutters.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way - Tag! You're it.

I live close to NJ. I could send one of Tony Soprano's guys up there to take care of the situation.
ReplyDeleteI'm just saying.
Makes me glad I can't see my neighbors.. lol.. glad to read that it wasn't your house next door..
ReplyDeletewhy woudl anyone want to put spotlights on their own house ?? much less to blind the neighbors too... ack.
ReplyDeleteAmazing the not obnoxious people havent complained
ReplyDeleteMake me glad I have no (nearby) neighbors -- or be a neighbor -- or have to deal with HOAs. Hermits rule!
ReplyDeleteI don't even get this. Why would someone do it? Why wouldn't a lot of people stop it. Totally inconsiderate. (And I love it that you got the picture while someone was honking at you.)
ReplyDeleteI guess I don't get why they want a spot light in their yard anyway. Weird.
ReplyDeleteOh good grief! What is wrong with them? That would drive me looney. Start a petition, what are you waiting for?
ReplyDeleteWe have a loud motorcycle up the street that drives me crazy. Don't people have any common decency any more?
Why did this aggravate me so much? Can't have this crap in cocktail corner.....
