A soft glow




I had to travel to Northern Germany last week, a trip I have to do just about once a month. This time as my usual hotel was booked I found myself in a brand new part of town, one with still old cobble stones and narrow streets. As my days are long I found myself walking back once the daylight was almost gone and the street lights were coming on. I noticed that some of the older streets had old lanterns still adding such personality and charm that I stopped to take a closer look.


I have to admit Lanterns are beautiful. The older the better! There seems to be a lantern revival of sorts and this makes me very happy. My favorite ones? Wood with German Mercury Glass reflectors. A real festival of light !
