my lovely lights
All I do know is that I love the light standards he installed at the intersection of all those streets with the ivy league names. everything is so old in this neighborhood that almost all the houses are on the national registry of historic places and the lights are no exception. that bad news is that they're so old they often stop working for months ----- even years at a time. and sometimes moving vans back into them and knock them off their platforms - that happened twice in one year. I almost cried.
last time the standard was out at our intersection i spent months haranguing the local electric company until they came out. four times. i stalked the truck, made friends with the technician. learned more than i cared to about buried electric lines, corroded ancient wires. but when it came back on line i rejoiced.
on last night's walk took a photo
or two
I don't know why i love these lights so much but i do.
But then again i like all sorts of lights.... those cheap christmas twinkle lights are strung around my house year round. on the deck. on any tree in the house that will support them.
speaking of lights, a few nights ago there was a new moon -
ends pointing upward reminded me of the minoan horns of consecration at the palace of knossos on the island of crete --- moon worshippers, fertility and all that good stuff.

I'm sure e.g.lewis would be quite pleased to see your appreciation for his lovely light fixtures. i like that you noticed them, beauty truly is everywhere isn't it? i love lights too, my favorite, the light the full moon makes when it shimmers on the ocean, it takes my breath away every time.
ReplyDeleteI see that my first post on intersection lights, Minoan bull cross beams of moonlight and your/my love of twinkle lights and all of what you said was lost in the nethers...
ReplyDeletewhat i said was I love them all too and Happy Mother Earth Day sister.
Oh yes Lori, moonlight on the ocean is so very hard to beat - it almost transports you to another world. i'm so happy you stopped by and i look forward to getting to know you too!! xo♡
