Let it glow

The 27-foot-tall Christmas tree that stands in the Wyoming State Capitol lit up on Wednesday glowing bright enough to make Clark W. Griswold jealous. It rivals only the 7.5-foot-tall tree that occupies a large portion of living room and features some 600 light bulbs. Sadly, however, my apartment ceiling is not as cool as the one in the Wyoming State Capitol rotunda.

Devin Brakel puts a detail on a Christmas-themed window painting on the front windows of Marv's Place depicting a snowball fight on Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2011, in downtown Cheyenne. "It's crunch time," Brakel said of a holiday season in which he has already painted about a dozen window artworks in Cheyenne.
