Summary

[edit]
Description

A few "back the blue" lighted trees to welcome Western Washington University students back to Bellingham for Fall Quarter. Trees wrapped with LEDs that are powered with small solar collectors at the base. They collect solar power during the day and, due to battery technology, glow at night. Somewhat of a temporary display, but on trees all over downtown.

Must not be that expensive to do things like this anymore. Good news for solar energy.

Installations are fairly vulnerable to vandalism, but have held up fairly well for several weeks. Gradual deterioration of installations means some of the trees are starting to go dark. I wonder if WWU students will retrieve the systems for later reference or just let them continue to deteriorate due to people and the elements? Tho somewhat flimsy, or at least not "hardened" like missile silos, they do look good for quite sometime.

— in Bellingham, Washington.
