In the Light of Irony

Isn't it funny how things happen? I have been thinking a lot about light lately. How it changes with the seasons and time of day. I even thought of posting a few photographs from our trip to South Africa just to illustrate how beautiful the late afternoon light can be there on a sunny day. That is what was on my mind when my mother phoned me and asked me to help put her new lamp together (all items of furniture come in neat little DIY kits in Sweden). She had bought it the same day because she didn't have enough light in her living room to be able to read in the evenings. I went over there after work and won't you believe it...Her dog was dressed up as a light too!
