A thimble of light
This is not my best photo. It was taken last week, on a bicycle tour, in a dark stretch of wood, on an extremely steep road. So steep in fact, that I had to stop and push rather than pedal. When I had to stop completely to catch my breath it was very quiet and very dark and then I saw this foxglove a little ahead of me. My exhaustion is partly to blame for the anything but perfect shot but at the time, this single flower was light to me. And the title? Foxglove is called Fingerhut (thimble) in German.

Towering lights
Nightlights. on a rather grander scale than the ones I had in my children’s bedrooms. Seen in Newcastle, Weinheim and Frankfurt.

And now for something completely different:
This bench is in Düsseldorf, it lights up at night and changes colour every minute.

Yippeh! It’s the New Year! And Squares are back in style! Hurrah!
Although I did not indulge in a private fireworks display (haven’t done so in years – there are many reasons for not doing it but my turning point came when we spent a New Year’s Eve in a holiday resort in Germany and we saw the disgusting amount of rubbish on the streets the next morning) how else could one start day 1 of a month long theme of light? Rocketlights (I warned you, I’m German, I know how to do compound nouns!) rushing towards the New Year! And in case you haven’t noticed: It’s a tie-in with the last square challenge of squares & lines.
