Nice photo. MJ Mitchell has a point about the detrimental effect over the environment by the new green light bulbs .

These bulbs are a horrible idea - what the outcome will be after the government "forces" us to use them....imagine a decade after what will be discovered, the mercury content, and how detrimental it will be to our land and "us". Love what the photo represents - great job!
