{the pipe sticking out there on the left right is the range hood vent...just another task to finish}
The first light fixture has been mounted and wired. The reflector has been installed and the light bulbs put in. Eventually I will learn that I have to redo its wiring due to a loose connection...
lately, i've been on a kick of photographing light fixtures at restaurants. this one was above our table at california pizza kitchen (CPK).
This is the lighting fixture in the Bass Pro Shop in Concord, NC. If you stop to look, the decorating in there is massive and awesome!
This is the "we had a time finding what we wanted and liked" light fixture. It was more $$ than I had planned on spending, but it is exactly what I wanted. Tomorrow I need to go and get clear bulbs for it.
I switched from using a triple swivel-mount reflective spotlight ceiling fixture to using this thing. Though I liked the spotlight thing a lot, the truth is that at 50 watts per bulb, it was way too energy-consuming. And I don't especially like bright places, so it's not like I needed 150W of lighting in my room.
Now, I use two 15-watt CFL bulbs. I would have taken 11-watt ones instead, since these are still too bright, but... I won't bore you with the details of that silly argument.
OK...Here's the thing. I live in north Texas. There is a huge flock of sea gulls in south Garland. They have blown up here from the beaches of Gulf of Mexico via many hurricanes. They have several area lakes they home in on, mostly Lake Ray Hubbard, in south Garland. But once you get into the Mesquite/Garland area, you may see them anywhere. I snapped s few really BAD shots while I was waiting for a friend to meet me for lunch. They were perched on the light fixtures out in the Mall parking lot.
I need a better zoom lens. I love all birds, but I love gulls and pigeons.

This image I cropped again and played with colorizing and added some cloud and light effects.
My daughter actually took this shot and I thought it was rather interesting composition and lighting.
