Decided to just take a low light level photo of our lamp and pillows before leaving for dinner. I like this shot, even if it's not the best.
Taken on my daily stroll accross the park on my way from Victoria station to Green Park station where I get the tube to Swiss Cottage.
Just a ceiling lamp from Diego's house. It has a nice vignetting effect.
Sólo una lámpara del techo de la casa de Diego. Tiene un bonito efecto de vignetting (creo q la traducción serÃa "viñeta" o "encuadre").
Purchased at Marshalls. Priced at $29 each and paid $45 total for 2 after using a merchandise credit I already had.
Placer County Courthouse, Auburn, CA, USA
I could be persuaded to flip this image horizontally so that the American Flag is in its normal orientation. But this is the way it was that day.

This lamp stood outside Hitchin Police Station in Hetfordshire before being moved to the National Memorial Arboretum.
It is dedicated to Mandy Rayner the first woman police constable to be killed on duty in Hertfordshire and to this day the youngest in the United Kingdom. She died on 13th October 1982 aged 18 years old.
Killed when the police patrol car, in which she was the observer and which was stationary waiting to assist colleagues, was deliberately rammed by the driver of a vehicle being pursued by police at Royston late at night.
..women selling butter lamps for devotional offerings.
Butter lamps (Tibetan: དཀར་མེ་, Wylie: dkar me) are a conspicuous feature of Tibetan Buddhist temples and monasteries throughout the Himalayas. The lamps traditionally burn clarified yak butter, but now often use vegetable oil or vanaspati ghee.
Each morning Tibetans offer a lighted butter lamp, representing the illumination of wisdom, along with seven bowls containing pure water (or symbolic offerings of washing water, drinking water, flowers, scent, perfumed water, food, and sound) before the images on their household shrine. The butter lamp usually being placed between the fourth and fifth bowls. At funeral ceremonies or when visiting temples and going on pilgrimage to sacred sites, Tibetan Buddhists often light a large number of butter lamps together at one time.
The butter lamps help to focus the mind and aid meditation. According to the Root Tantra of Chakrasamvara, "If you wish for sublime realization, offer hundreds of lights".
Pilgrims also supply lamp oil to gain merit. The monks in the monastery manage the actual lamps, taking extreme care to avoid starting one of the devastating fires which have damaged many monasteries over the years. For safety, butter lamps are sometimes restricted to a separate courtyard enclosure with a stone floor.
Externally, the lights are seen to banish darkness. Conceptually, they convert prosaic substance into illumination, a transformation akin to the search for enlightenment. Esoterically, they recall the heat of the tummo yoga energy of the Six Yogas of Naropa, an important text for Kagyu, Gelug, and Sakya schools of tantric Buddhism.
this is a dupe of another foto in my stream to be able to add it to the squared circle group. it was a good idea though to scan through the images of squared circle before.

I had lamps and teak stuff coming out of my ears. Some stayed, most is gone.
This picture pertains to my set "Things I've sold" and are pics that I put out on Tradera (Swedish e-Bay) about five years ago. I just found these pictures hidden away on my computer and realised suddenly what a great documentary they are for me, in that I used to be an avid collector of 50s-70s stuff and have great memories of most of the stuff I sold. Some I regret selling, but most I realised I had to let go since I for many reasons wanted a fresh start. And things do hold you down.
I have a pair of these funky tropical modern giraffe floor lamps. They need restoring. They do work fine however the finish on most of the brass parts is starting to deteriorate. I used to remember the manufactures name but it escapes me at the moment. oh yeah, the Rembrandt Lamp Co
One of Adam's Christmas gifts this year was a little wooden crate that resembled the crate from the movie A Christmas Story, which contained the infamous leg lamp. This mini-crate contained a 500-piece puzzle of that lamp. We had a lot of fun putting this together yesterday. :-)
So far, the 2014 weather looks suspiciously like the end of 2013 version. One of those days where it didn't really get light, so the indoor lamps were on all day. PS I did go outside briefly too
Revisiting a theme from a few winters ago, this handsome rustic table lamp resurrects memories of a winter's tramp in the northwoods. A few collected mementos of fallen autumn leaves and pine cones are tucked in a pack basket along with a nostalgic Hudson's Bay blanket. Novelty snowshoes handcrafted in Maine and a parchment shade adorned with pine trees complete the scene.
