Halloween in Portsmouth, NH
Happy Halloween! New England seems to decorate for the Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving really well – maybe it has something to do with our close proximity to Salem and Plymouth. I particularly like these pumpkin-headed scarecrows in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The entire downtown is decorated with these 8 feet tall, black clad, wiry fellows. They’re spooky but not very much, since some of them are dressed in old black concert tees.

Those 8-foot pumpkin guys would be especially effective at night, I imagine, with shadows n all:o The old concert tees would just make them even creepier, despite the smiles. Kudos to whoever made them. Great pic!
