Welcome to new Shadow Shot team

.
One lamp that has two quite different-shaped shadows.
I guess it all depends where and what the sources of light are.


Here is another old hanging lamp in the same room of the small Ticho House museum in Jerusalem.

As of today, our shadow group is under new management --of a whole team-- at Shadow Shot Sunday 2.
Tracy of Hey Harriet has been hosting the meme since 2008 and is now "retiring" from that big job. Thanks, Tracy, for encouraging us to search for shadows! Wishing you lots of light.

Old chanukiot

.
Yay, only four days until Chanuka, the Festival of Lights!

In Jerusalem's lovely Beit Ticho small museum is the late Dr. Avraham Ticho's international collection of antique Chanukah lamps.

We say chanukia in Hebrew in Israel, although in the Diaspora you more often hear it called a menorah.
Sunday night we will light the first candle.
Then, every night we add one additional candle, until at the end of Chanuka there are eight candles and one servant candle burning brightly.
