The new edison bulbs fascinate me. Their orange glow seemed to be the perfect object for this weeks challenge of 'creative orange'. This photo was taken of a bulb under a bulb, o a glass table outside in the garden during sunset

Once you get above the first floor restaurant of the Edison Hotel (built in 1935), the classic Art Deco threes appear: three floors, three sections. In addition, the windows in the center protruding section are in three stacks.

An actor impersonates Thomas Alva Edison. Just to inform you, this actor looks very much like the young Edison. He was nicknamed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" because of his many inventions. Edison was not the first to "invent" the light bulb, but he was the first to make the light bulb "practical." He had the philosophy that one should never give up and that every failure brought a person closer to the success he desired.
Born in Ohio, Edison grew up in Port Huron, Michigan. Henry Ford was an admirer and friend of Edison. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison
