It is day sixteen which means we are exactly half way! A good time I thought to visit Glasgow to remind ourselves of the theme and rules.
For the month of January we are looking to fill our lives with words ending in light, whether than be sunlight, floodlights, firelight, candlelight, starlight, limelight, moonlight, streetlights, torchlight, taillights, gaslight, or, as I have today, skylights. You can also find your own words ending in light, there are more than 50 words of them. Originally I’d suggested we avoid the blights, slights and plights but the ones we have had have been such delights! So hopefully we’ll see a few more of them and maybe even a trothplight.
I post daily during squares, mostly from the archives but there are always a few posts which I specially take for the challenge. It would be great if you could join me daily too, but you can post whenever inspiration illuminates a square! The only challenge rule is that your main photograph must be SQUARE.
The tag is #JanuaryLight and remember a square has 4 equal sides! Do leave a comment as well as a pingback on my posts. It makes the challenge so much more fun, and enables me to include a link to your square in one of the galleries.
Were you lying on your back to take this shot? An interesting perspective. And are you sure this is a skylight and not a rooflight? Just saying… 🙄
A shortage of this here today, I’m seriously thinking about building an ark: https://wp.me/pL5Ms-4Z9

Almost on my back . . good job I am little! hee hee definitely a skylight this one as it is a proper turret at the top.

Quite! I thought perhaps it was just because I live in the south west, but it seems the rain has been all over Britain for months! Scotland seems to have done better.
(I looked up skylight vs rooflight and it appears to be interchangeable with Americans using rooflight more. A bit like chips vs crisps)

don’t worry the south east is certainly suffering too!
and how interesting on skylight versus rooflight – I always think of the latter as the whole roof. You learn something every day 🙂

oops now understand your comment as now seen your earlier one . . . they are all art by local children. Apparently no theme and no real reason, they just like to display what the local art club creates and have elected to do it by hanging it from the ceiling. Such a wonderful thing to do. I loved it!
PS and you have a fabulous day too.

oh I am so glad you like it, it is to be found in the Gallery of Modern Art, was once the Royal Exchange . . .and before that the home of a trader.
