Walthamstow Town Hall

Interesting light fitting in this excellent restaurant. At Murano, Queen Street.

Lighting in the main hall foyer of the former Heidelberg Town Hall.

Found a fun piece of pareidolia this evening - much more pleasant than the last one I discovered! This amazed looking chap is the rear of a light fitting, recently replaced in one of my snakes vivariums

After a break of around half an hour sitting on the steps of the Basilica of San Domenico, I was getting a bit bored, so I went off one more time to explore Siena, as well as to buy a Tuscany calendar on the way back!

  

I headed up Via del Paradiso which is in Dragon teritory!

  

The Dragon District (Drago)

 

Drago is situated to the north-west of the Piazza del Campo. Traditionally, its residents were bankers.

 

Drago's symbol is a flying golden dragon carrying a banner with the letter "u". Its colours are red and green, trimmed with yellow. Drago won the Palio on July 2, 2014, and again on July 2, 2018.

I felt inspired the other day to photograph some of my favourite objects, some new acquisitions and birthday presents, some are old faithfuls...

 

Its Autumn here and the colours are lovely brick-reds and steely grey-blues...

 

Again, a piece of broken china plate with mulberry red stripes, part of a ceramic ceiling light pulley, and a set of stamped silver spoons from Etsy seller 'JLynnCreations' which I asked to have custom-stamped with 'silence, patience, tendresse, douceur'...to remind me to be calm and relaxed sometimes!! And my lovely old find of a '30 kilometre speed limit' road sign propped underneath until I decide which old brick wall it will hang on.

The foyer of the Rex Theatre, Charlton, VIC, Australia.

 

Opened to the public on Saturday 15th October 1938 (Charlton Show Day). The opening program was "A Star Is Born" starring Janet Gaynor and Frederick March and "Paradise For Two" starring Jack Hulbert and Patricia Ellis.

We were now heading along Via delle Terme in Siena through Goose (Oca) territory. Their flags were on buildings on both sides of the road. The guided walking tour of Siena, heading towards the Piazza del Campo.

  

Near Via dei Pittori.

  

Flag and goose sculpture - The Noble Goose District (Oca)

 

Oca is situated just to the west of the Piazza del Campo. Traditionally, its residents made dyes.

 

Oca's symbol is a crowned goose wearing around its neck a blue ribbon marked with the cross of Savoy. Its colours are green and white, with red trim.

 

Oca is one of only four nobile (noble) contrade; it earned its title for its people's bravery during many battles fought by the former Sienese Republic.

 

The most recent palio win for Oca was in the July 2, 2013 race, with jockey Giovanni Atzeni riding Guess.

An attempt at making boring office lighting a bit more intersting.

 

Trying my hardest to create using inspiration from NIN's 'Ghosts' album artwork (www.flickr.com/photos/nineinchnails/4493734001/in/photost...) which was photographed by Phillip Graybill and Rob Sheridan.

Double Layer Trilis - this is the third of its kind in the world.

One of Sir Walter Scott's light fittings.

One of the pavilions at the Venice Biennale, created by Greece, was a surreal experience. You went up these stairs and were guided along a platform above a floor of water. At the end there was this one shaft of light and it created a leading path which at first you didn't know where your were going to go.

Seen at one of the cafes at Sydney International Airport.

The inside of one of several large abstract 'sheath' light fittings that punctuate the main hall in the Metquarter shopping centre, Liverpool, and look especially effective with the addition of coloured light by night.

Shire Hall Gallery, Stafford, unusual light fitting - in the entrance of the former Court building.

Maybe photography has saved my life for I was not underneath it. I was taking photos in the garden and came in to find the mess. No water involved. It's completely dry. It is where we had a water leak over 2 years ago and the emergency plumber who came was very cavalier and let water pour through that light fitting quite a lot whilst doing the repairs. Now we've had some hot weather I guess it has dried a lot so fallen. Also we have a lot of heavy lorries go by outside here and builders have been doing heavy work next door, also cavalier methods.

 

Due to long term health problems I am not taking on any more contacts. Please see my profile for more details.

I am very grateful for single invites but really don't want multiple ones. PLEASE no personal graphics, spinning or flashing comments. They stress my eyes.

   

This was a common sight- note that the Hotel has received an award as recently as 2007 but it looks completely derelict? The moment a building is not used in Bulgaria, it is stripped of anything of worth, windows, doorframes, lightfittings etc for use elsewhere.

Design Exquis is an exercise in "random design", inspired, it seems, by a drawing game played by the surrealists.

 

A designer is given an object, and has one month to make a design inspired

by that object.

 

Then he has to pass his object on to the next designer, but does not reveal

his identity. Nor may he reveal any details about the design - what it

represents, how it has been made etc, all must remain secret.

 

Designer number two has one month to create his response.

 

Then he passes that on to the next designer.

 

In this exercise, for Clerkenwell Design Week, there were four designers. I

spoke to three of them, and I have to confess that without their

explanations, I would have been mystified.

 

Dominic Wilcox received James Plant's Breathe lamp, but was unable to fathom its meaning. So he decided to challenge the simple assumption that only lightfittings can be fitted into ceiling lamp holders.

He created Sound Bulbs, which adapts a vintage radio to plug into a ceiling socket, and a ghetto blaster to plug into a table lamp.

My camera is straight but my house isn't and so am I.

or perhaps just an odd light fitting at Rembrants Coffee Shop in Chattanooga...

Opened as a movie theatre in 1936 and closed in 1964.

We have never seen posts quite like these before. They are not converted Verandah columns, they do seem to be original Lamp posts with cast 'outlets' for lamps around the capital area.
