Sad news on campus

Last Monday night was the Annual Lafayette-Oxford-University Christmas Parade followed by the annual lighting of the campus Christmas tree in front of the Lyceum. I got up to campus about 5 am on this past Thursday morning to do some walking around the circle and get some nighttime photos of the Christmas tree. When I was approaching the circle I noticed that there were several police cars and a fire truck in front of the Lyceum. I went to do walking on the west side of the campus but didn't hear what had happened that morning when I got to work. That afternoon I was in that area of campus and walked by to see and, sadly, the Christmas tree had caught fire and burned up. Physical plant was removing it. It's gone now.
Every year I've gone either early in the morning or late at night to admire the beautiful tree and the ornaments. I bought a camera back in August and I was excited about getting several shots of the tree this year. Unfortunately I was a day too late.
Oh well, thought I would share with everyone.
