Remember that geodesic sphere I made? I finally found a use for it:

The last picture is from a mile away. It's actually visible to the naked eye.

Hopefully its 540 aluminum rivets and 270 copper struts combined with the salt air won't be a problem over the course of one winter.

Why is there a jolly roger out the front of your house? And where's the sphere in that shot anyway.

What exactly have you done? Mounted it on a pole (some shots make it look like it must be a VERY tall pole) with fairy lights?

Hard to tell, eh? Looks like the ornament on top of a tree.

By the way, check out the size of the bolts holding it up in the first shot. In the event of a tornado it will be the last thing standing, I think.

1/4" bolt - I have tons of it. Buy it in 3ft section.

Yes; It's mounted on top of the the blue spruce evergreen tree. The daylight picture was taken before I put the sphere on the tree.

I wondered who would notice the flag ;-)
