Happy Lantern Festival to all of you! The golden cute pig is the main theme of the year of 2019. For Chinese, the pomegranate symbols a large family with many offspring and certainly the larger the better!

The wintry haw is burning out of season,
crab of the thorn, a small light for small people,
wanting no more from them but that they keep
the wick of self-respect from dying out,
not having to blind them with illumination.
But sometimes when your breath plumes in the frost
it takes the roaming shape of Diogenes
with his lantern, seeking one just man;
so you end up scrutinized from behind the haw
he holds up at eye-level on its twig,
and you flinch before its bonded pith and stone,
its blood-prick that you wish would test and clear you,
its pecked-at ripeness that scans you, then moves on.

I've missed a couple of days of "Single In," but I'm back at it. The humidity is incredible today, and my lens elements and view finder fogged over instantly upon stepping outside. After giving the camera time to acclimate, I managed to snap this still life of an antique oil lantern before the camera started fogging up again, probably from the proximity of my breath. This is all I have today. Pentax K-1 + FA 77.

The Grade II Listed early Trinity House-commissioned, symmetrical lighthouse complex, on Caldey Island, a small island off the coast from Tenby in Pembrokeshire, South Wales.
A painted plaque on the lighthouse records 'Erected A.D. 1828 by the Corporation of Trinity House and light exhibited for the benefit of navigation, January 26th 1829.' The lighthouse was engineered and built by Joseph Nelson, a notable lighthouse engineer from Leeds, who was responsible for the construction of a number of lighthouses in the British Isles. The lantern appears to be a replacement, possibly of 1875 (the date on the associated oil store), together with the optic. The lighthouse serves as a marker for coastal traffic and displays an intermittent flashing light with 2 red sectors.

Фотографировать ночью без предварительной рекогносцировки — всегда испытание. Осенью, задолго до рассвета, я отправился в парк незнакомого города, чтобы поймать его ночную атмосферу. Воздух был пропитан сыростью, опавшие листья шуршали под ногами, создавая ощущение тревожного ожидания.
Таинственность ночного парка усиливалась звуками, которые днем кажутся привычными, но в темноте обретают мистический оттенок. Вдалеке эхом разносились крики ночных птиц, по дорожкам мелькали тени — то ли кошек, то ли бродячих собак. Но больше всего настораживали фигуры людей, неспешно появляющихся в свете фонарей. Кто они? Куда идут? И стоит ли мне оставаться здесь?
Я сосредоточился на съемке, стараясь абстрагироваться от пугающих деталей. Постепенно страх отступил, уступая место восхищению красотой ночного парка и приближающегося рассвета.
Ночь — это отдельный мир, живущий по своим законам. И лучше встречать его не в одиночку.

Taking photos at night without prior reconnaissance is always a challenge. In autumn, long before dawn, I went to a park in an unfamiliar city to capture its night atmosphere. The air was damp, fallen leaves rustled underfoot, creating a sense of anxious anticipation.
The mystery of the park at night was heightened by sounds that seem familiar during the day, but take on a mystical tinge in the darkness. The cries of night birds echoed in the distance, shadows flickered along the paths, whether of cats or stray dogs. But what was more alarming were the figures of people, appearing slowly in the light of the lanterns. Who were they? Where were they going? And should I stay here?
I concentrated on taking pictures, trying to abstract myself from the frightening details. Gradually the fear receded, giving way to admiration for the beauty of the park at night and the approaching dawn.
Night is a separate world, living according to its own laws. And it is better to meet it not alone.

This lantern is the type common in Colonial American. Though it was not labeled where this one came from, it is from the correct time period and is very much like the type made by Paul Revere. To bad it has been covered to electricity. Still the effect is lovely.
