Description
I don't particularly celebrate Halloween... I enjoy a good ghost story and all that, but I find that Halloween (just like Christmas), is becoming more and more commercialized... and just another excuse for the retail sector to get us to spend more money
But I guess thats just me being grumpy (bah, pumpkins!) as plenty of other people enjoy the occasion.
In a related matter, Lincoln used to have a big, popular xmas market, but that apparently got 'too big' and became to complicated and expensive for the local Council to manage. It was cancelled indefinitely a few years ago, much to the complaints of locals who appreciated the extra trade it generated for the city.
In order to entice people to the city to increase revenues etc (and make up for the market no longer taking place) , a local organization Lincoln BIG (Business Improvement Group) creates 'events' throughout the year. For the past 3 years at Halloween, they set a selection of 'monsters' dotted about the city rooftops.... and while I was in town today, I took pictures of a few of them
The jury is out on whether these big inflatable attractions actually make a difference to the local economy, and increase both footfall and spending... but that said, while in town today I picked a sandwich meal deal from Greggs, and 2 CD's, so they got some extra money out of me!

About Me
Living in the UK, I am an intermittent Runner, but always striving for more consistency. When I'm not training I can be found photographing insects or listening to really loud angry music (which is the best type of music obviously!)
