This photo challenge is alternately hosted each Friday by the bloggers:
Something to Ponder About  and The Snow Melts Somewhere

The prompt for this Friday is:

Illumination

Everyone is welcome to join in with the Friendly Friday Photography challenge.

  • Sunset
  • sunset
    Sunrise
  • schnauzer dog sunset
    Schnauzer Sunset

For me, illumination means sunsets, sunrises, candlelight, or nights with the moon.

  • Moonlit nights
  • A Mackerel sky

The city can be illuminating, especially when there is Fireworks

  • A little bit of Nepal in Brisbane

You can also see some photos of Tokyo illuminating at night here

A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word. Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, I enjoy photography and craft, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

  1. Aw – what a kind thing to say, Moon. Sunsets are mesmerizing, as I find are lit candles. I am so happy to hear you liked the prompt. Lovely warm glow in the Miami sunset, and fun to see the Tokyo tower at night, illuminated – of course!

        1. No. Not the cat nor the rock photo is inappropriate at all. It is just the link you typed within your comment on my friendly friday Illumination post takes to to the cat page, not the rock. I assumed from your comment that it should be linking the photo of the sun on the rock to the Ilumination prompt?? Is that the post you wanted to be linked to Friendly Friday’s Illumination prompt?

            1. Okay. Silly me!! Yes a little confusing for both of us. Now I understand that both photos could and are good examples of illumination. Thanks so much. I will trust you on the links next time!! 😁

    1. Hi Susanne and welcome to Friendly Friday. Thanks so much for joining in and your kind comment. I just checked out your fabulous series of lighthouses. I love your take on the prompt. I used to paint pics of lighthouses – some time back.

    1. Pingback is there David. I just had to approve it, and I was probably asleep – as I suspect I am in a different time zone to you. Thanks for joining in on Friendly Friday Photo Challenge. Your photos are amazing, really amazing and showcase your talent as a photographyer. That first sunrise photo was incredible. Where was that taken? Is that a remnant of a shipwreck poking out of the water?

      1. There still seems to be issues with pingbacks at times. Sometimes they’re there and sometimes not. The sunrise was taken 10 minutes from where I live. It Colpoy’s Bay and the Niagara Escarpment in Ontario, Canada. The wood is the remains of a row of old wood piles sticking out the bay originally there to stop the shoreline eroding.

        1. Canada – lovely. I don’t think of water scenes being associated with that nation. The pingback issues is a mystery. More for some than for others. Let me know if it persists.

          1. We spent 4 or 5 days there and then went on to London, where we met my sister and brother in law for a few days. After that, we spent a week in Haarlem before coming home. It was a good trip and I wouldn’t mind going back to England.
