Lights

Day three of the Newcastle Eye Hospital saga.

After I had finished taking photos of eyes and fish I was wondering what to do next while we were waiting when the receptionist said I could go upstairs where there were more comfy chairs and make myself a cup of tea while I waited.

I wandered up there but it didn't look very inviting and they only had UHT milk and I have skim milk in tea. (Can't stand UHT) so I gave the cuppa miss. I did spot these interesting lights by the stairway though. There were three lights but the angle wasn't very good to get all three of them so I focussed on just the one and took a photo of that.

The saga continues tomorrow ........

[Lynda McG]

Amazing lights!

[julia]

Did you have to lie on the floor for this shot..

[Babs]

@julzmaioro No it was on the stairwell and the lights were in the centre of the spiral staircase.

[Dawn]

Nice lights

[Kathy A]

Such an interesting light!

[Maggiemae]

That worked very well. You have put a lot of thought in that! Actually I don't mind UHT - tastes the same to me.

[Carolinesdreams]

Very pretty.

[Peter H]

I love that fitting, very nice.

[Susan Wakely]

Shame about the tea but what great lights.

[Beryl Lloyd]

I agree re the HRT - oops sorry -I mean UHT milk !! the smell of it as you raise the cup to the mouth is revolting ! A nice find - these wonderful light fittings are very fitting for an eye hospital - a very modern take on an eye , I think !

[Joan Robillard]

Lovely

[Sally Ings]

Really cool looking lights. Thankfully I drink tea and coffee sans milk.

[Dione Giorgio]

Nice chandeliers with lots of lights. Nobody would want them nowadays - my daughter , when she refurbished the house she bought 3 years ago threw everything away and settled for spot lights instead. I would have taken a black coffee.

[Lee-Ann]

Lovely looking lights

[Valerie Chesney]

So Beautiful but, who would want to clean them.

[Babs]

@sangwann I agree I wouldn't like them in my home but they do look nice here in the hospital.

I can't drink coffee I am allergic to it.

[Lou Ann]

So interesting. I’m glad they have nice things for the patients to see while there.

[Gosia]

Nice pattern. You got a good eye for an interesting subjects.

[Esther Rosenberg]

If you look around and it can be hard in a setting as a hospital, there is something nice to look . Well done, great find this is a pretty chandelier. Good luck with the hospital visits and the patient.

[Granny7(Denise)]

Great lights to be found in a hospital. Loving the saga

[Lynne]

Interesting. Almost looks like the eyes on peacock feathers.

[Bep]

Interesting chandelier. Good luck with your hospital visits.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I think you found the right compromise in settling for one chandelier over the three. It's probably a stronger composition this way because there are less baubles for the eyes to look at and some blank spots for them to rest. I like the reflection in the center too.

[Casablanca]

What fantastic light fittings. Posh hospital!!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Pretty and I love your pov.

[Diana]

Great shot of these beautiful lights, you sure found some wonderful items to shoot!

[Margaret Brown]

Very interesting detail and design

[bruni]

I love the light and try to imagine how three of them would look like.

[carol white]

Lovely lights

[Kathie]

Pretty fancy for a hospital. Wonder who gets to clean those.

[Pat Knowles]

Well we like hearing about your outings even if only to the hospital.....this will look rather lovely when lit I imagine!

[Judith Johnson]

What a great photo of this splendid light. Good that you're finding ways to fill in the waiting time usefully!

[Kate]

Love the contrast between the graceful chandelier and the stark lines of light on the wall

[sarah]

Interesting

[Carole Sandford]

They look like pictures of viruses - one particularly mast one -covid 19!

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of this impressing chandelier.

[eDorre]

What an interesting light! Neat capture.

[Shutterbug]

Very interesting lights. Certainly seems like a good place to keep a photographer entertained. Hope it’s not too serious with your Hubby’s eyes.

[Kat]

Very cool

[Lois]

Looks very modern. This eye hospital has been very entertaining!

This morning I did some research on family history for a friend of mine looking through newspaper articles as the chap I am researching was a music hall entertainer in the early 1900s. Found some really interesting articles on him. This afternoon David and I have been at a U3A function and then a group of us went for a cuppa afterwards too so only just got home. Will catch up in 365 this evening.

Thanks for your well wishes for David. His trip to the eye hospital was just a routine visit because he has glaucoma and has to have the pressure levels in his eyes tested each year. He is okay on that one but apparently has the beginning of a cataract on one eye now so that will have to be monitored. Nothing drastic at present though

[haskar]

It looks great, but how does it clean?

[Mrs. Laloggie]

Very eye catching.

[Shutterbug]

@onewing I had cataract surgery. I was in and out in less than an hour and could see right away….no eye patches or anything, just a lot of eye drops for a month. So glad I had it done.

[Jacqueline]

Interesting lamp!
