Waiting for the Light

/ Leya / 34 kommentarer

In the countries up north, as in Sweden where I live, this time of the year artificial light is very important to drive away the darkness. People say our mood up here is as gloomy and dark as this winter season… But on the 4th Sunday before Christmas Eve, we all put up stars and candlesticks in our windows. And they will be up at least until the middle of January. At our tables, one candle each Sunday is lit – in waiting for the birth of Christ.

I would like to share my windows with you – to light up this first Sunday of waiting.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Lights

/ Leya / 65 kommentarer

Light and lights are essential to almost all living beings. And, the play of light is fascinating. It cathes the eye and holds our imagination alive.

My choices for this challenge about Lights are all from Spain. The first one from an early morning outside the great palace, when the sun lets its rays play with the lamp post  making us believe it’s being lit up from inside… The second photo from a gallery, is also lit up naturally by the sun.

The third photo and the fourth are both from Gaudí – The lamp from the ceiling in his house, lit up from inside as well as from the natural light through the side windows and the figure of Christ bathing in light – also from above.

Cee’s task for us this week is all about numbers or letters. Well, the most fun ever I’ve had with numbers and letters was on New Zealand – and surely I made a post of it somewhere…but here are some of them again! Love, love love their humour down under! Letters instead of numbers…and the reverse…

Direction is what Ese points out to us this week…as usual a delightful challenge – why don’t you join in?

Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!
