lighting sculptures of Doug Johnston

It's been a while since I looked at lighting but a dip into it today revealed the woven cord lighting sculptures of Doug Johnston (his range is available at Mondo Cane, too many zero's on the price tag for me to be owning one). I've worked a lot with weaving recycled materials and then lighting them but his  skill takes it to a whole new level as he joins several together seamlessly. They remind me of the soft connections between weather worn rock formations in Arizona and Utah.

Happy New Year 2014

Edinburgh Christmas lights 2013

Mirka Janeckova

I felt the need for some wintery white and the jewellery of Mirka Janeckova seemed perfect. Then I saw her White Drawings and had to show 3 of them as well, they are very striking and I actually thought they were inverted photos of actual jewellery when I first looked.

Moonrise in the night garden

The moon and cloud free skies have made the garden beautifully silhouette filled this week.
The last photo is the bamboo which, after years of being waist height, has responded to the hot summer and heavy rains by towering high above my head this year!

Sunset 14th November Autumn into WInter

It's been great to see the return of some lovely sunsets this week after a period of cloud and rain. Tonight was a real pleasure to watch, it looked lovely in all directions and changed from pale pastels to quite intense shades of pink and purple in the North...

And fast changing oranges and yellows with hints of purples in the South West (which became very fiery near the end before softening off at the end as the street lights came on. The trees have lost nearly all their leaves now but as long as some are still clinging on my head thinks it is Autumn, but dropping temperatures and early sunsets are telling a more Wintery story (this took place over 12 minutes from 5.17pm)
