Recent project: Mrs W has been redecorating our front room (a process I loath with a vengence, I must admit). She decided that she wanted to modernise it a bit, so she's brought it about twenty years more modern - from '30s to '50s style. So the deco glass lamp shade has gone into store, awaiting redeployment, and this item has been put up in place of the wooden patress and bakelite fittings.
It wasn't easy. The main mounting bracket was a doddle: there's already a joist directly above the position, so no problem there. The wiring mods were easy, as I had already organised all that from the previous time it was replaced. The light assembly itself hangs from the bracket by a large split pin, which goes through the top of the vertical chromed tube, and the conical cover then pushes up to the ceiling and is 'locked in place' by a single grub screw. I put 'locked in place' in inverted commas because, of course, a grub-screw is a fairly useless way of locating anything on a hard chrome surface, so I ended up super-glueing a small piece of rubber band on the end of the screw, to give it a bit of grip. It all took quite a lot of juggling, and I wouldn't want to disturb it more than I have to.
"Light also reveals knowledge, which knowledge is light, which light protects from darkness because darkness has no power to penetrate light as light has power to penetrate darkness."

Pour la petite explication :
Foule (bas de la photo) surmontée d'une lumière rouge (fond de salle). Fin de soirée, appareil = LOMO LCA. Prise sur le vif, juste pour le fun :-)
Light was quite unusual that day. Very light low clouds. From time to time sun was poking through creating bright spots.
This is a light painting I did of my son, who is learning photography. Today's lesson was long exposure:)
the roof of a hidden, unmarked bazaar in the north of the Soukhs. Have absolutely no idea how I found it!

Altadena, CA - In 1920 Altadena resident and Pasadena businessman Frederick C. Nash came up with an idea of lighting the trees for the holidays. He sought assistance from his organization The Pasadena Kiwanis Club and from the City of Pasadena to initially light a 1/4 mile section of the roadway. Over the next few years the lighting expanded until the entire row of trees, 150 in all, were lighted. It is estimated that annually more than 50,000 automobiles travel the avenue during the weeks of the lighting.
It was quite unexpected to see so many people present to see the lights, even a marching band joined in. What you don't see is that each of these trees has a transformer permanently mounted on them - they take this 'lighting of the avenue' quite seriously! The draw of electric lights never seems to get old.
Spring-beauties captured in a brief ray of sunlight. That's why I love photography, you can freeze moments such as these. Have a beautiful Sunday Flickr friends!!
