Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Peace Candle

Reason: Again, I'm new to this, but trying this out. I think this one is an encyclopedic entry and I think it's of more educational value that my other nomination. I also think the photo has a pretty good sense of scale, thanks to the flagpole and the people at the base.

Comment: File:Easton peace candle lit at night.jpg by Hunter Kahn does not seem to have trees in it (though it is dark and thus may have trees), so is it possible to picture the candle without the trees? --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 12:17, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I might be able to get another picture of it from the other side without trees, before the city takes it down (which is supposed to be within the next few days). I had kind of thought the trees gave it some scale, but I guess not? — Hun ter Ka hn 16:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It supposed to be till 2014, right? --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:38, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, it goes up every holiday season, usually around November, then it's taken down in January or February. Then the next year, it goes up again. The current candle is supposed to last until 2014, then they'll probably have to build a new one, but it's not up all year long, only around the holiday season. Maybe I should try to make that clearer in the article. In any event, the Peace Candle is still up and will be for about a week, I think, so I'll see if I can get another shot... — Hun ter Ka hn 17:15, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. I missed that. Please add that fact in the lead. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 04:32, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Hey, sorry for the delay in response, but I wasn't able to get another picture of it before it was taken down. By the time I got to it, they had a huge crane sitting next to it for a few days, waiting to take it down. :( On the plus side, I got some photos of them actually disassembling it, which I can add to the article later. But as far as this photo is concerned, this is the only one I can manage until the next Christmas season. — Hun ter Ka hn 14:37, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please add them to the article. They seem encyclopedic and educational. Umm... may be possible VPCs. :) --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:10, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- lol. I will add them either tonight, or tomorrow at the latest. — Hun ter Ka hn 16:13, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
