The first two of a larger series. I became totally enchanted by this light cast by the stained glass window.
The lights are interesting and colourful, but first a little history.
The Town Hall was built by architect Peter Mills in a Neo-Italianate style in 1864. It has similarities to the Victorian Parliament Building (1856), but on a smaller scale.
But here's the really interesting historical information: Launceston was proclaimed a Municipality in an Act of Parliament on October 30, 1852, 47 years after it was formed as a settlement. On January 1, 1853, seven Aldermen were elected in the first local government elections held in Van Diemen's Land. From this came the desire to build an appropriately elaborate Town Hall.
So here we are in late 2019, with some coloured lights to add to our local democracy.
Well I suppose this could be classed as cheating, as today's offering was taken tomorrow...
I missed an opportunity to capture a really beautiful sign of spring this afternoon. Then I went into work for a two hour session which stretched into a frustrating four hours. Home for barely an hour when called back for an even more frustrating half hour.
Finally, when leaving the lab at 1am my eye was caught by this lovely building and I remembered I hadn't taken a picture for today. So a short diversion on the way home yielded this rather wobbly shot. Sorry folks... Must try harder...
This building was built on the edge of a freeway in Perth, Western Australia. This view is from a pedestrian bridge. The residents must feel a little like fish in a bowl.

This scene just caught my eye. Taken from the south aisle looking through to the nave and the north aisle beyond. The sun was streaming in through a stained glass window behind me, creating these coloured light patterns on the stonework.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

It's beginning to look like Christmas everywhere now with snow on ground, although it melts sometimes, but coloured lights are appearing and the mall and stores have lit Christmas trees up.
One by one they followed Eddie up the mount ready to journey home through the stars and beyond.............
More late night LP capers with AndWhynot. An amazing location in a very secluded and elevated spot from where we observed some great lightning and got buffeted by warm summer winds. This time it was my turn to keep him out late for my ends. It goes like that sometimes.
Top guy who generously gave me his last Yum Yum cake to keep me sustained on my journey home. He had polished off the other three mind you !

I have loved you for so long
Can't imagine myself with another
You're so much a part of me
You're inside me
I wanna be good enough for you
In everything I do
Don't you ever set me free
I'd rather be locked up in your arms can't you see
There's no place I would rather be
I'll go wherever your love takes me
(`Cause) You were meant for me
As I was meant for you
You were meant for me
Together we will always be
(`Cause) You were meant for me
You were meant for me
My love gets stronger day by day
Strong enough to stand the test of time

Night shot of the British Airways i360, on the Brighton seafront, lit up in colour and looking very reminiscent of the cover of All Around The World by the Electric Light Orchestra.
This vertical cablecar opened to the public just over a week ago, on 4 Aug (I was there) though a light show and fireworks display planned for the same night had to be postponed due to high winds.
This was from the rescheduled event (last night, Sat 13 Aug).
I was on a small jetty just to the west of the tower: looking back to the promenade and along the beach, people who had come to see the event stretched as far as the eye could see.
(Although the i360 does do 'rides' after darkness falls - currently up to 9:30pm - it isn't usually lit up like this, so to see it 'in full show' was a rare spectacle, well worth seeing.)
The photo has been very slightly cropped but is otherwise straight from the camera. It was taken with a Nikon Coolpix S8200 compact (tripod mounted). As I said, I was on a small jetty to the west of the tower: I'm guessing the distance was about a quarter of a mile. Fortunately the weather conditions were pretty much ideal.
More collaborative nocturnal capers with big thumbed Quornflake Dan at the SSSI pond. Followed by an encounter with a very large black panther.

Cropped for those who are bothered by such trivialities.
Credit where credit is due. Thank goodness for private enterprise, otherwise we'd live in a drab world.
It took a local company "Walker Designs" to rescue this classic old Gothic Church that was literally going to ruin, completely renovate the interior and add a little colour and light at night.
It could certainly do with a few coats of paint, but at the moment it serves perfectly well to enhance the Ghost Tours that run most nights in this part of town.
for better/larger view press L on the keyboard... cheers Ed.

Hi all!
I hope my post finds you all happy and in good health!
I love bokeh and I loooooooooooove colour...however...bokeh, isn't my forte so I decided to do something a little different...
This is a shot of the Christmas tree lights to which I added my eye...I've been playing again lol...
I don't have one of those fancy editing softwares that you can trace around a subject and crop it...so I had to get creative in order to do this...it was a lot of work/fun!
I love having to come up with solutions...if you have a problem, I'll find a solution lol!
I think I've brought out the child in me, lately!
With love
Nat :)
PS I apologise for the poor quality of the eye shot...taking a 'self eye' shot isn't easy when you can't see what's happening with the focus!
I went downstairs at my Mum's this morning to re-pack my case and saw this brilliant rainbow being cast across her carpet by the colourful window in there. Photo for the day sorted.
Said goodbye to my Mum shortly after 11am, then drove her car over to my sister's, for her and my niece to drive me to the station. We got there super early, so had a nice time chatting away and killing time before the train came. Had a good journey, then got home to Tim mid-afternoon. So good to see him again!
We decided not to bother cooking and to go out for dinner instead - a lovely way to round off my holiday and Tim's weekend :
