February is the darkest month (well, for some of us, anyway!). So what better time to say "Let there be (flash)light"?

how high would the gallows need to be to hang the rich man?"

this is most beautiful (14.67 / 3)

i love these (& would love that first one hanging on my wall!)
light & shadows intrigue me.
i've always loved pre-dawn & dusk-dark...my favourite times of day.

i've added Fine Arts as a tag, so this can be found easily on the Series tab

i must say, having you here recently sure kicks off my weekends well.
i love you bringing "a little culture" to the place!

Thanks, Ria! (13.67 / 3)

i love you bringing "a little culture" to the place!

Not sure about that; I just find things - and it's very satisfying having a place to share them. Glad you like. :-)

As for the images, yeah they're pretty nifty, aren't they? And apart from the visual pleasure, I like how they all seem to represent conversations. Shedding... light.
