Christmas Tree

Posted by
Steven (Chicagoland, United States) on 22 December 2022 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Christmas tree spotted on one of Brookfield's Eight Corners. Eight Corners is a reference to a very busy roundabout with eight corners. Usually, the Christmas tree is located in the center of the intersection, known as Memorial Circle (and to others known as a roundabout). But the circle is being renovated with a new fountain system, which requires a larger, underground concrete vault and updated electrical supply.

Many have expressed that having the tree on a corner rather than in the circle is much safer and allows for more photo opportunities with families and children.

Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël! Feliz Navidad! Frohe Weihnachten! Vrolijk kerstfeest! Hyvää joulua! Feliz Natal! I'll be taking the next week off. Happy New Year to you!

Pas la place pour une guirlande de plus.... C'est effectivement peut-être mieux de le mettre sur le côté que sur le rond-point, plus accessible et moins dangereux !
Bonnes fêtes de Noël et de fin d'année Steven.
Ä bientôt

A better location for the tree than a busy roundabout. Merry Christmas, Steven, and I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful images in the New Year.

It is obvious that to take pictures in front of the tree, it is better to install it there rather than in the roundabout.
In the foreground, I see the famous American eagle ;-)

Merry Christmas.
May you not lack anything you most desire. And if at the expense of Christmas you have to put on a few pounds, no harm comes to the world because of that. Take advantage and enjoy.
