Sure, my camera shook, it created a blur, but what a beautiful one.
How cute, a couple on the light bench under another light. There is something about light in the darkness that makes things magical.
Walking under the stars.
A glass mosaic hut out on a little lake. A friend in Chicago posted images from the Arboretum there. This is a new trend in gardens in the late fall. It much be much colder at night in Chicago, it is fun to see people all over the country enjoying these light shows.
The light changed on these shapes throughout the night. It was fascinating to watch.
These are simply die-cut metal shapes. With lights within, at times, there were lights projected on them.
In some cases you could spin the orbs, thereby creating incredible shadows on the ground. I have to say, it created a moment of vertigo. Light is a very powerful element.
Plain old lights on the street.
With a Christmas tree.
Blurry, but the neighbors are putting up a lot of lights this year. Thankfully I am seeing more Christmas lights than Halloween lights. The trend is reversing! I love lights, but the Halloween decorations tend to be dark and macabre. The Christmas lights symbolize bringing light and goodness into the world. Give me that any day.
Speaking of Christmas… Aytan is obsessed with Christmas. With all the issues he has to deal with, now is not the time in his light to deny him some pleasure. Unlike old Europe where Christmas time was dangerous for the Jews, here in America, all are welcome to enjoy the times and the symbols. Meanwhile, Europe is back to it’s roots, there is not time there that is safe for Jews anymore.
Since we are leaving for New Zealand next week, I won’t be around for Hanukkah, so am beginning to give out the gifts. Westley did this 350 piece puzzle by himself!
I need to learn how to upload videos here, not through You Tube, I have a very cute one of Cam with a crane that is taller than him.
The joys of grandchildren.
