In HS I remember reading a short story 'A Clean Well Lighted Place' by Ernest Hemmingway it had a profound affect on me. It is not that the people are nice and kind or that it is a happy story because they are not and it is not happy. But the idea of the story is that people want and need a clean well lighted place to BE, to feel safe, to feel calm, just to be. I think of this often when people say, 'I
don't know why the kids all like to "hang out here?' and I reply, 'It's because you have a clean well lighted place.'
I love light and all the ways it affects us so this Thursday Thirteen is a salute to
the lights in my life :>
1.If you know my family you know we love the Friday night lights.
2.I am so grateful for electricity- I love candlelight but I need electric lights
.
3.Light helps guide us home- literally and figuratively.
4. Lights that celebrate life.
5.Nothing beats natural light- it is so pretty and helps us stay healthy.
6. Lights to worship as we please.
7.Lights that make YUMMY treats
8.Lights to Perform we all like 'Our name in Lights"

10.Lights that cook and entertain:>
11.Light for entertaining loved ones

13.Lights to bring us home safely- to our own clean well lighted place.

Marcia, this was just the best Thursday Thirteen post.
Great photos! I love the light that celebrate life.
I enjoyed that story as well, especially the way Hemingway was able to compare physical traits, and sensations against the way the world is, the natural impact of things...the motion of Earth in comparison to the motion of people moving in their daily...way of moving, for lack of a better way to say it.
I love the photo of the lights in the tree, but I can't quite figure out what type of tree it is. Any idea?
Oooh... I love this TT! I could just read it over and over again. Great job!
Happy TT :)
A very 'enlightening' post. Well done. Happy T13!

I love this T13 and the light sequence of photos - inspired words and images.Thanks for sharing I loved droping by.
Light is the theme of Thursday Challenge this week by the way.
Very interesting TT, I like your idea :) My fav picture was the natural light, but I like the marshmallow one too!
I love that after yesterday's more than Cowtown reference, you put up a pic at Billy Bob's! Funny. And, very pretty series of pictures.
haha so one day maybe I'll be able to compete with your TT's... but definitely not today. I saw the most beautiful sunset yesterday and wanted to take a picture, it would have fit in well. Light really does just make you feel better.
great photos. I love your TT!
:-)
That was a beautiful TT, your pictures capture beautifully the point you were trying to convey.
