In reality, that is looking up at a light. I used the fastest shutter speed, the lowest ISO, and the smallest aperture. Then I went for the metallic look in post-processing.
I think only about half of these are still in play. But I forget all the time the ones we have anyway.
The fifth light fixture is lit up and working. The 12 gauge wire hanging off to the side is determined to be "hot", ready to be fed into the sixth light fixture.
The Jellico Motel, just off I-75, Jellico, Tennessee. I haven't been able to determine exactly when it closed, but it appears to still have been in business in at least 2014.
I adore these ceramic lights from the 1930's. We had similar ones in my Grandparents home that was built in the late 30's. They made matching ceiling lights. Would be cute in a bathroom or nursery.
This place was wonderful - great food and a kitschy atmosphere. If all of you in the Northeast are wondering why you can't find 1950s chome tables and Mid-century advertising that's because it's all here at the Friendly Toast.
I hate this light fixture. hate hate hate. I want to change it for something else but
1) I don't know what
2) I don't know how
I'm sure I can figure out #2 on my own. but I need some opinions for #1.
I enjoyed taking photos of the garbage in the rain this morning ( and the neighbour came out to see what I was doing....and offered me the light fixture...it's all there, he said. )

Massive light fixture hanging in the conference room at the FIFA building Zuerich. The walls in there are clad in platinum! No joke! I was asked not to lean on them because of their value.Total costs of the building were CHF 240 million!
See more in my FIFA set.

Most important travel tip learned on this trip -- Do NOT fly Delta through Atlanta Hartsfield airport. Baaaaad idea.
My flight left Pgh late, because the plane arrived into Pgh late. Suffice to say, sprinting through the Atlanta airport did not do me any good. By the time I had waited an hour to get to the head of the ticketing line, I had already been back and forth on hold on the phone to Delta to rebook my flight.
In my case, I had made it to the gate, to see my plane still sitting there, for another 10 minutes even, but the gate door was already closed when I got there.
But, mine was not the best story. A rather attractive blonde woman behind me in line had also come in from Pgh.
She was booked on a once-a-day flight to Brazil. As she walked into the gate area of her flight, the gate agent saw her coming....
... and ran to get ahead of her, then closed the gate door in her face and said "it's closed."
I have since been told, that even other Delta employees hate dealing with Delta in Atlanta. I can certainly believe that.
Anyway.... this hanging light was in the airport bar in the Atlanta airport. The dinner voucher that Delta had given me paid for a beer, and the breakfast voucher paid for most of a quesadilla to sit next to it.
I had just barely made it in time for last call, at 9:30. Sheesh

The restoration of the historic Bass Mansion at the University of St. Francis is pretty much complete.
John Henry Bass, a key force in the growth of 19th century Fort Wayne, built Brookside as the centerpiece of his country estate on what is now Spring Street. After fire destroyed the first home, he rebuilt Brookside in 1903 as a steel-framed, sandstone-encased house. The founder of Bass Foundry decorated the mansion with intricate woodwork, fine artwork, valuable antiques and elegant furnishings.
The Sisters of Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration bought the home and 65 acres south of Spring Street from the Bass family in 1944. They moved what was then Saint Francis College from Layfayette, Indiana to Fort Wayne. The mansion served as the college library until the university opened the Lee and Jim Vann Library in August 2006.
Old Seoul Station, built in 1900, had been lying abandoned and neglected ever since the shiny, big and new Seoul Station was built next door in 2004.
I'm so glad they are using it for art exhibitions now. Last week I went to the Seoul International Photography Festival there. I did spend a lot of time looking at the photos, but mostly I was mesmerized by the fancy old chandeliers. I hope they preserve these ornate light fixtures.
The kitchen before we started the renovation work. The linoleum was peeling off the floor. The cabinets, while pretty in a way, were not our style. The paint was blah. The benches were a little too busy for my tastes. And the ceiling fan's pull chain was broken (and it wasn't connected to a switch anywhere, to boot).
This was taken slightly after work had begun, which is why there are no appliances or a kitchen table in sight.

Been very interesting to watch the ice slowly melt from the big storm in December. This is all that remains now.... see the earlier images below. Kid of hard to believe it is melting at all with the cold temps we've had recently.
After removing the old fan, we realized that the junction box was not ready to hold a new fixture, and with no knowledge of what the box was (or wasn't) mounted to, we decided to bypass it when securing the fixture mount bracket. With advice from our Menard's guy, we came up with this plan, which was a success in the end. We are lucky to have the crawl space to work from the top.
I should note also that this illustration is not accurate, as the placement of the 2 bolts is shown off by 90 degrees. Where the bolts are shown to come thru the attic floor boards in a line parallel to those boards, the line of bolts is in actuality perpendicular to the boards such that each bolt comes up into a different floor board.
To all those mounting a new fan into the ceiling with junction box unknown, I wish you luck.
