Sliders Sunday
Chanukah begins at sundown on December 18th. That inspired me to create this picture with DDG-Text-2-Dream. Happy Slider's Sunday!
To all who celebrate "Happy Chanukah!"
The Knesset Menorah is made of bronze; its height is 4.30 m, the width is 3.5 m and it weighs 4 tons. It is located on the edge of Gan Havradim (Rose Garden) opposite the Knesset. It was designed by Benno Elkan, a Jewish sculptor who escaped from his native Germany to the United Kingdom. It was presented to the Knesset as a gift from the British Parliament on April 15, 1956 in honor of the eighth anniversary of Israeli independence.
The Knesset Menorah was modeled on a golden candelabrum that stood in the Temple of Jerusalem.

Kneset Menora jest wykonany z brązu; jego wysokość 4,30 m, szerokość 3,5 metra i waży 4 tony. Znajduje się on na skraju Gan Havradim (Ogród Różany) naprzeciwko Knesetu. Został zaprojektowany przez Benno Elkan, żydowskiego rzeźbiarza, który uciekł z rodzinnych Niemiec do Wielkiej Brytanii. Został on przedstawiony Knesetowi jako dar z parlamentu Wielkiej Brytanii 15 kwietnia 1956 na cześć ósmej rocznicy izraelskiej niepodległości.
Kneset Menora był wzorowany na złotym kandelabrze, który stał w świątyni Jerozolimskiej.

"Don't let the light go out!
It's lasted for so many years!
Don't let the light go out!
Let it shine through our hope and our tears."

This is from the end of Hanukkah. I love getting that picture of all the lights lit up! I want to apologize to all my faithful friends who have continued to follow me and comment on my work even when I have been absent the last several months. You guys are amazing and such a source of inspiration to me. Thank you for being such an encouragement to me even when I have been severely lacking in doing the same. As this year comes slowly to an end I find myself processing all the changes and transitions. Some of these I want to share because you have been an important part of my life. I posted a few times about my Grandma whose health was slowly declining as she was transferred into an assisted living home. This picture: www.flickr.com/photos/missinterpretations/32235077844/in/... received so many kind comments I remember tearing up reading all the kind words of comfort. My Grandma actually passed away last month. She was ready, so very ready. But still an emotional ending to the year. Thank you so much to everyone who offered me such kind comments and messages when I needed it most.
I found out I was pregnant earlier this year! We are expecting our newest little one April 12th. We are a big family and I LOVE it. I wouldn't have it any other way. But as my family expands and grows my time becomes more limited as well!
My mother in law received a much needed heart transplant this month - I am SO very thankful for this precious gift that has given her life, hope and future. I still cannot even speak of it without being overwhelmed by the sacrifice and miracle of this gift!
I lost a new and special friend this month to the same cancer that claimed the life of my dear sister in 2010. Although I only knew her for a short time Sherryne made a deep impact on my heart and to find out of her passing (also in the same month that my sister passed away) truly broke my heart.</3 Rest in peace Sherryne xx
So much has happened in my business and continues to happen, I am now standing here at the end of the year wondering which direction to take. I know that I am not alone in changes, gains, transitions, losses...Each of you have faced all of these yourselves over the past 12 months. What a year, what a ride! Thank you for listening to me, for giving me a place of comfort and friendship! I hope that your coming year is full of miracles, strength to face all trials, love to propel you forward and friends to keep you strong! Have a wonderful ending to this year and I pray and hope that 2018 brings you a host of miracles and light.
xx love always xx

Twinkle, twinkle, little pixel ;-)
My second photo of the "Festival of Lights 2018 at the Brandenburg Gate weird crop" series. Since it's not only the first Sunday of Advent today, but the first day of Chanukka, too, I chose this illumination from the light show at the Brandenburg Gate way back in October. I am aware that the illumination doesn't show Chanukkiyas, but Menorahs, but I hope it is OK for you as a symbol. For this week of Chanukka, Europe's biggest Chanukkiya has been erected at the Brandenburg Gate and the first light was illuminated tonight by Germany's Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier (but unfortunately I didn't find the time to go there today).
Hm, and how come there is a starry sky? It's a secret milky way that only the little Lumix LX100 can see. "Hot Pixel universe" ;-) Of course I could have easily blackened the pixels away, but I decided to leave them in the capture for a nicely festive touch ;-) Why am I not worried about the hot pixels? Because it seems to be a "regular issue" with the LX100's sensor / lens combo in complete darkness / with a black sky, and usually the LX's long exposure noise reduction addresses this issue. But here I couldn't do a long exposure, because the illuminations changed too fast. I also have no problems at all with sensor dust and / or hot pixels in regular or even blue hour light situations. So no need to worry. I masked out and desaturated the pixels in Luminar and cloned some of them with the clone stamp to give it a more natural starry night look.
A Happy first Sunday of Advent, and a Happy first day of Chanukka to all of you who celebrate. And for everybody else: Happy Sliders Sunday ;-)
Das zweite Foto aus der "Seltsames Format vom Brandenburger Tor zum Festival of Lights 2018" Serie. Da heute nicht nur der 1. Advent, sondern auch der erste Tag des achttägigen jüdischen Lichterfestes Chanukka ist, habe ich mich für dieses Menora-Motiv der Lichtshow am Brandenburger Tor entschieden. Zwar wurden hier nicht die achtarmigen Chanukka-Leuchter, Chanukkias, auf das Tor projiziert, aber ich hoffe, dass die siebenarmigen Menoras als Symbol für den heutigen Tag in Ordnung sind. Hätte ich es heute zum Brandenburger Tor geschafft, hätte ich Europas größte Chanukkia, die zurzeit vor dem Brandenburger Tor steht, fotografieren können. Heute Abend wurde dort das erste Licht von Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier entzündet.
Und ein Sternenhimmel inmitten der hell erleuchteten Stadt? Dies ist eine ganz besondere Milchstraße, die nur die LX100 sichtbar machen kann und das auch nur bei völlig schwarzem Himmel. Ihr ahnt es schon, es ist das Hot-Pixel-Universum. Natürlich hätte ich die Hot Pixel einfach wegschwärzen können, aber ich finde, dass sie hier dem Foto einen festlichen Anstrich verpassen. Warum mir die Hot Pixel keine Sorgen bereiten? Es scheint ein "reguläres Problem" der Objektiv-Sensor-Kombi zu sein. Bei längeren Belichtungen beseitigt die Langzeitrauschunterdrückung der LX100 die Pixel, aber hier war eine Langzeitbelichtung nicht möglich, weil die Bilder der Lichtshow zu schnell wechselten. Außerdem zeigen sich die Hot Pixel tatsächlich nur bei völlig dunklem Himmel. Selbst in Blaue-Stunde-Lichtsituationen oder auch in der Dämmerung ist davon nichts zu sehen. Ich habe die farbigen Hot Pixel in Luminar per Maske entsättigt und dann noch in Photoshop einge "Sterne" dazukopiert, um dem Pixelmeer am Himmel einen natürlicheren Look zu verleihen.
Ich wünsche Euch, wenn Ihr feiert, wahlweise einen schönen ersten Advent oder einen schönen ersten Tag des Lichter-Festes. Und für alle anderen: Happy Sliders Sunday :-)
London's weather at its finest.
I posted this elsewhere and there were one or two comments suggesting that selective colour photography is a bit naff. But this isn't selective colour. The day really was that dreary.
Cousins Kallai and Isaac watch their candles burning at a family Hannukah party in Honolulu. I grew up with their granpa. Time flies with old friends and Hanukah candles.
This is the upper works of a scale for mixing and measuring chemicals. The lower section is surrounded by clutter, so I did not include it in the photo ... but trust me, this is the interesting part. It's like some giant industrial menorah lurking in the back area of this old mill.
This year December 6 through the 14th. Chanukah (Hanukkah) starts on the Hebrew calendar date of 25 Kislev, and lasts for eight days.
The festival of Hanukkah starts tonight and for some reason the other day I made this Menorah-based superhero while making other holiday figures lol. Enjoy.
(Also to be clear I don't regularly celebrate Hanukkah so if this is actually offensive somehow let me know lol)
Much light and love to you on this first night of Hanukkah.
(I’d mistakenly posted two photos prior to this one.
I’ve deleted them for now. Sorry!)
This is one of Gay’s many Menorahs. I shot this one on the second day of Hanukkah which happened to be the Eve of Christmas Eve as well as the secular holiday, Festivus.
Happy Holidays to all, and to all a Good Light. Slainte !

This absolutely has to win the prize for the most completely bizarre Cactus I have EVER seen! It's right near the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. It is a combination of a Crested Saguaro, and a regular Saguaro. I've never seen such a thing. A crested Saguaro is actually a mutation. They stop growing arms, and instead grow big swirly lumps. They are extremely rare. Well... The middle part of this one is all Crested, but then it grew arms out of the crested section. Very strange.
