A Different Kind Of Holiday Tree!

 I saw a couple standing in front of what I thought was a Christmas tree.  However, as I approached it I realized that it is a solar-powered car charging station.  It's the first time I've seen one and not sure that it really is real but it does look pretty authentic.


Holiday lights show that it is indeed providing power from the sun.  Most likely it was power held in reserve as the weather in Vermont today was totally cloudy.  Burlington is second to Seattle for the highest number of cloudy days per year.


This charging station is located at my local health food store.  Likely location as Vermont is known for its health food stores and proud to be very "green".


Yes, I've been knitting and have quite a bit to show you but still have to take pictures.  So, in the interim...............

Happy Knitting!

  1. I guess we will start seeing more of these in the future. But, right now, they sure are strange looking. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

  2. I feel like William Shatner - "Is that weird or what?" I can see why you might mistake it for a Christmas tree. It sure does look like one.

  4. I've read about those, but had never seen a recharging station. Pretty cool, wonder how much it charges to hook up to?

  7. Wow, didn't know that they had such things! But I did wonder if something like this would come about when the semi electric cars came about.

    Found you as a blogger on Bridge and Beyond blog. I only knit one thing...the diagonal washcloth. Can't seem to get the hang of anything else!!!! I haven't had the patience. I do crochet though which I adore. I look forward to seeing some of your work.
