While in Parkville, Mo. one evening I noticed that the
street lights came on so I took this photo against the evening sky.
The light is actually about five meters behind the lamp, aligned to shine through it. Taken with Konica Minolta Dimage Z20 ISO 50, F/3.2
I was time traveling recently (I went to 1702, so it was actually not that recent!). I bumped into a guy who said his name was Isaac Newton. He was rotten drunk and asked me to make a 'moonshine' lamp. So I did and it made some pretty strong liquor. Unfortunately Mr Newton was actually referring to a lamp with a shine like the moon! Oh well...
found a pair of lamps without the lamp shades. Fell in love with them because of the ball matching the body of the lamp.

This is the first vintage lamp I ever bought, I've had it for about 15 years now. I still love it - the swirly circles on the shade make me smile.
ps. That's a pic of my mom when she was little peeking out of the left side of the shot! ;)
Mary Louise Hussey bought this stained glass gas lamp with one of her very first paychecks while wortking for the Veteran's Administration at the end of WWI before she was married. Later her husband, Charles Fitzpatrick, converted the gas lamp to an electric light.
