January Square: Headlights in the Snow

We are having a major snowfall (the first one this year!) so I thought I would post these headlights photos for today’s #JanuarySquare. This is my car about five hours ago!

January Square: Rummaging Through a Drawer

This is Dale using his flashlight to rummage in his tool & miscellaneous drawer to find…I’m not sure what! I was mostly interested in taking this photo of him using a flashlight! Flashlight (or for you Brits, torchlight) is for Becky’s January Squares with the topic of _____light.

January Squares 15: Sunlight on Stained Glass

Stained glass windows are pretty even from the outside, but of course, more glorious from the inside when the sunlight shines through them! The photos below were all taken at the majestic and wonderous Cathedral of Cologne, Germany. The windows there were spectacular! Becky’s January Squares, ____light

January Square: Night Lights in Paris

For Becky’s Square Challenge with the topic _____light, today my contribution is the Eiffel Tower’s night lights. I suggested we visit the Eiffel Tower at night because I wanted to see the spectacular sight of this famous tower lit up at night. Here are a few more shots I took that evening. More photos – […]

January Square 8: Fancy Overhead Light

For Becky’s #JanuarySquare Day 8, here is another overhead light (specifically, a chandelier) at Musee d’Orsay in Paris, France. This was in a room called Salle des Fêtes (Reception Room). Here are a few more photos of this elegant room. I was surprised to find this in a museum of art. But I guess an […]
