My take on “Pick Two” theme for “Macro Mondays” - Broken - Glass
A blown oven light bulb.
Thanks in advance for all your faves, comments and just for taking time to look.
HMM :)
On our terrace there are some oldfashioned - some might call them retro/vintage - carriage lights and one of them holds a somewhat illegal lightbulb. 100 w uh my gosh! I always argue with my partner, he wants me to throw them away but I hold against it that they still work and I do not want to waste that. One day, when they no longer work, yep - I will exchange them for whatever will be modern and allowed then - but for now, well, just sue me.

Evidently, they bought different kinds with different color temperatures over time. This hotel (Istanbul Hilton, now it prolly has a qualifier since there's more than one) has been there since the '50s and perhaps less popular rooms still have incandescent bulbs?
Addendum: yes, indeed, it's called "Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus" now. It has a Wikipedia page, even, with this fun Cold War tidbit about how/why it was built:
John Wilson Houser, vice-president of Hilton International, wrote a letter to Conrad N. Hilton on June 23, 1951 about the Soviet Union's intention to build a 1,000-room hotel in Istanbul similar to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, plans of which he had seen. Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus project thus became a factor in the Cold War US–Soviet rivalry.
The light bulb is over one hundred years old, taken from a similarly old house in the Glebe, in Ottawa, ON, Canada. No manipulative Photoshopping (other than cropping and exposure adjust). This is SOOC. Slow exposure: pause, then jiggle the camera.
The Ramgrens had a chandelier over their dining room table which was glass rectangles and like 6 light bulbs. Tim said, "hey he actually made our ugly lamp look cool".
