10 / 365
This red lantern was a free gift from Mary, owner of a furniture shop from which we bought much of the furniture in our flat. Most of the furniture we designed but the cabinet in which Tom keeps some of his clothes is an antique.

This cheerful lantern lives in the corner of our living room and is visible on the street below when lit.

I am pleased with the double reflections captured in this shot.

Project 365 - Day 9
While scrambling for a photo last night, I took a few snaps of my son's fish tank. I was fascinated with the bubbles but didn't have time to play around as it was past my son's bedtime. The main thing I noticed while editing the photos was that I needed to clean the aquarium's glass.

Fast forward to tonight. I decided to turn on the Ikea LED lights which are installed underneath the bunk which is behind the fish tank. I took a bunch of photos, edited and cropped...and discovered this shot. I love it!

The lights in the distance are from the Stanley Waterfront Playground. I always love light reflected on water...it reminds me of the times spent at the beach (at night) during my high school years.
