Yes, I still have these light switches in my house. I find that they add to the old vintage character of my house. I love them. :)

This image wishes it was a real diptych.
Sorry to keep uploading similar stuff from the other day…
I just loved all of these shots too much not to.
When I was titling this, it made me remember a song I had forgotten about years ago. I have to share it, as it gave me a good laugh watching his spastic dancing attempts. I don't recall it being so funny back in the 80s when it first came out.

For the Our Daily Challenge theme Light Switch..
I bought this colorful cover plate at Tohono Chul arboretum's gift shop quite a while ago. I liked the sunset over the Tucson Mountains.
I see the switch is in need of careful cleaning. Lol!
I've been really fascinated by old electrical outlets and sockets lately. I mean, in old buildings. And photographically speaking. I don't lay in bed at night thinking sweaty thoughts about two prong outlets.
Or do I?
But in this one, I enjoy how the crack in the wall invited itself to the lightswitch wallplate. There's something very satisfying about that.

Don't wait for things to get easier, simpler, better. Life will always be complicated. Learn to be happy, right now. Otherwise, you just may run out of time.
Quand la terre est changée en un cachot humide,
Où l’Espérance, comme une chauve-souris,
S’en va battant les murs de son aile timide
Et se cognant la tête à des plafonds pourris;

…….This chink of light on the light switch caught my eye so a quick grab shot before the sun moved! Strip lights are a thing of the past as LED’s are the new ‘green’ must haves nowadays! Hope the week is going well, stay local & locked down to stay safe and to keep EVERYONE else safe too! A VERY BIG THANK YOU to ALL the key workers who are carrying on to benefit the rest of us - we applaud you all. Alan;-)👏👏👏👏👏

“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”

I know this seems dramatic, but I am not as lonely as the title would have you believe – It's the title of an album I am fond of, and it simply felt appropriate. I won't deny that today's very intense (and unwelcome) snowstorm is phasing this whole city, and that definitely makes me feel like curling up all day in bed… which I have done. Classes were canceled today. I wish I could just flick a switch, and it would be spring. I do miss Scotty and am having a twinge of the I'm-lonely-and-I-need-cuddles syndrome, but not to worry, as I will be visiting him on the west coast in two weeks. So all is well, really. I've actually been feeling really at peace and at home with myself lately.
Wow, days like this make me even more long-winded than usual.
London Grammar - Hey Now (JOBE edit) -
Hey now, letters burning by my bed for you
Hey now, I can feel my instincts here for you, hey now
By my bed for you, hey now, hey now
Uhu, you know it is frightening
Uhu, uhu, you know it’s like lightning
Hey now, now
Hey now, letters burning by my bed for you
Hey now, leave it to the wayside like you do, for you
Imagination calling mirrors for you
Hey now, hey now
Uhu, you know it is frightening
Uhu, uhu, you know it’s like lightning
Hey now, now, hey now, now
Hey now, now,
Uhu, uhu, uhu, uhu
well, my flickr meetup plans fell through today (feel better, smacknally!), so i decided to head upriver to do some errands. on the way, i passed this abandoned old gas station i'd been itching to shoot for months. it was windy as hell and colder even than that, and as i saw it up looming ahead, i thought, should i bother? the light was green, and you know how you slow down, hesitating, leaving the decision to the very last second?
i swerved into the station's empty lot, parked, braced myself, and dove in. and within about ten minutes, i got some of the best shots i've gotten in many, many moons.
and this one, BY FAR, is my favorite. you know when you do something, just to see if you can do it, and you know you're doing it for yourself, and you don't care if no one else likes it? that your own love for it, which in and of itself is a rare and wondrous thing, is enough?
this is that.
