Been horribly wet here almost all day, so getting out for a photo wasn't an option. I happened to have my camera in my hand when I went to make a mug of tea and looked up at the kitchen light.
To cheer it up a bit I changed it to black and white and gave it a slight swirl.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)
I'll make this my last upload from the V&A, I promise! It is a beautiful building, and I had a busy day filling up memory cards. This is the ceiling in the museum restaurant - I liked the light fittings, these huge balls of light. My hands are not that steady but this was easy to take, simply laying the camera on the table behind my plate:-) A couple more shots in the comments.
Thanks for the visit, comments & faves, hope you are having a great week!

If ever in Copenhagen, i implore you to visit the quite magnificent Christiansborg Palace.
It is incredibly beautiful and there are so many different aspects to the building, all making for a splendid location for photography.
Tripods are not allowed, you have to walk around with those blue overshoe socks but it is all worth it.

I treated myself to a new portrait lens... now I just need to start photographing people. (I also wanted to have another go with Delta 3200... overexposed and underdeveloped is obviously the way forwards!)

I've just repainted my cast iron street light in Oxford Blue and Gold. The light is either LED 240 volt or Different LED's solar.
The Cast Iron Post was made by Wright's Foundry Co Ltd in Leicester. The top is a Reproduction of a Victorian Style Lantern.
As well as the intricate detail of the light itself, this shot shows quite well the 'giraffe skin' pattern that has been meticulously applied to the walls and ceiling of the main first floor room of the Casa Batllo by Antoni Gaudi.
My first day in Egypt included the short bus ride from my Cairo hotel to Al-JÄ«zah on the outskirts of the city.
Our first stop was at Marriott Mena House.
Once the site of an old hunting lodge set on 16 hectares of gardens, Mena House in Giza first opened to the public in 1886. Photographs of screen stars, presidents and princesses who have visited sit in a case in the elaborate drawing room of this oId stone palace, and I could well imagine Hercule Poirot sitting under the elaborate gas chandelier, looking out over the manicured lawns and the Great Pyramid.

This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a monthly challenge called "Freestyle On The Fifth". A different theme chosen by a member of the group each month, and the image is to be posted on the 5th of the month.
This month the theme, "Sparkle" was chosen by Lisa (red stilletto).
Nothing sparkles quite so much under light as crystal chandeliers, and that was their purpose. Whilst we are all used to the illumination of electric light, crystal chandeliers were invented in the Eighteenth Century to reflect candlelight and thus provide more illumination. Mirrors were also used for the same purpose.
These elegant chandeliers I photographed at three different places I visited whilst on holiday in January.
The main right-hand photograph is of is a Nineteenth Century Victorian crystal chandelier in the drawing room of Werribee Mansion, once the home of the Chirnside family, now a historical house open to the public. Visit www.parks.vic.gov.au/places-to-see/parks/werribee-park for more details if you would like to visit Werribee Mansion.
The top left-hand photograph is of a Twentieth Century Edwardian crystal chandelier in the entrance hall of "Warwilla", a grand red brick mansion on St Kilda Road built in 1896.
The bottom left-hand photograph is of an Eighteenth Century Georgian crystal chandelier in the Green Room of the Johnston Collection, a small private museum in East Melbourne that specialises in Eighteenth Century and older antiques and decorative arts, consisting entirely of the collection of antique dealer Mr. William Johnston.

The De La Warr Pavilion is a grade I listed building, located on the seafront at Bexhill on Sea, East Sussex, on the south coast of England. The Art Deco and International Style building was designed by the architects Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff and constructed in 1935. Although sometimes claimed to be the first major Modernist public building in Britain, it was in fact preceded by some months by the Dutch-influenced Hornsey Town Hall.
This is my cast iron lamp post and it's Day Burning for photo.
The light fitting has 4 X 11 watt preheat fluorescent pl lamps fitted and gives out a nice cool white light.
The Cast Iron Post was made by Wright's Foundry Co Ltd in Leicester.
One of my favourite Gaudi details from the Casa Batllo was the sculptured ceilings. The way they integrate the light with the structure is the complete opposite to many modern houses where a single pendant hangs from the centre of the room (if you're lucky) looking like an afterthought. It's just one example of Gaudis comprehensive design ethos.
This is my Holoplane 8718 UFO Flying Saucer Design Light Fitting Made in England.
This Light is very old and was replaced by Fluorescent Light Fittings, When The Leicester Permanent Building Society's head office was revamped.
My Grandfather and other employees were aloud to take them home. Unlike today when everything now gets skipped!
The Light was fitted in the hallway of his home. I had always like the light from a young age and when he passed away, the light was left to me in his will.
All I had to do was remove the light and fix up a new BC Pendant Lamp Holder (Ceiling Rose).
The two part Prismatic Pendant Glass gives out a great light even with a ECO-LAMP Philex Compact Fluorescent 15w fitted. The Lights Ratting (Incandescent Bulb 150Watt Max)
Holoplane was founded in 1898 and has made Lights for indoors and outdoors including Street Lights (Lamp Posts).
