The Empire of Light + Christmas Lights Poll
Preparing to go up to St Nicholas Church in Cohoes for
Saturday -Sunday. Else to share, a house decoration
for Christmas which caught my eye last night. The phrase
'the Empire of Light' comes to mind by association, and
that is the Magritte painting of a rather stately house
made mysterious by being on a dark night earth under a
day time sky. ( Read more... )
but our imaged house here is made mysterious and wonderful,
although a rather plain and average sort of house in not the
richest section of the town, by the curtain of light and
figure created by the decoration. the light a magic veil
makes it a place a King may visit... Here is a larger image
and that of the next house also ( Read more... )
which also is a rather plain house. It is a neighborhood which
is still I think heavily Italian ,the church is Our Lady of Pompei,
a chapel of the main village church, and certainly Italians and
also I think Greeks, make freer with light than the american average.
It seems to me quite wonderful and may to you... or may not, why not
do a small poll, I have slightly set a bias by setting out the case
for bright lights but, there sure is no right or wrong...
Poll #1494463 The Extravagant Bright Christmas Lights Poll
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 5
I am inclined to find extravagant Christmas decoration like this
and so am sharing
these and as always welcome all you have in turn, as
always comments help add interest to a poll if anyone
is interested...someone state the contrary case for
restrained good taste please! or just ideas suggested by
free association etc memories etc...
yours
