Photo Hunt - Electric
The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is electric. So here's an electric light, well a floor lamp with a textured shade. Good lord I didn't even stretch the theme!
Very cool... although I really would not have known what it was if you did not include a caption. Mine is up too... right here - http://www.slowtrav.com/blog/eden/
Well, if you hadn't told me it was an electric lamp, I wouldn't have guessed what it was. I love the textures and shapes, it almost looks ghostly to me. I did "stretch" the theme, but not out of shape.
This was a great theme that can be interpreted in different ways. I initially saw your photo as an abstract representation of "electric" before reading the description. It's a cool black-and-white texture.

Oh well, sometimes straightforward take on the theme works just as well.
Happy weekend.
Well I stretched it big time. Well done Jams.
Happy weekend
Very atmospheric.
I wouldn't have known what it was if you hadn't said. And still I'm not convinced!
Thanks everyone It is a lamp, honest Liz!
That's an interesting shot. Almost looks like a charcoal drawing. Happy weekend.
An interesting shot and an interesting lamp, if you say so.
What an interesting photo! I never would have guessed that's what it was...
Oh my. What a ghostly effect! Full marks for creativity, Jams! :D
very cool!
Good lord I didn't even stretch the theme! -LOL!
Happy weekend Jams :)
It's a combination of eerie and classical shot. Nice take!
Good choice. Those electric lamps, in one form or another have helped us all educate ourselves :)
so, it's a floor lamp? i wouldn't have figured what it was if you didn't mention.
Cool shot

I'm glad you added an explanation... I thought it was an electrical spirit!
you're so funny --but you did stretch the light - come see where it all got started on my post
No need to stretch the theme. The image is fascinating.
No stretch?!? Very cool post-modern electric image - I love it!
Love the photo of Robyn below too. What a beauty.

You may not have stretched the theme, but you managed to stretch the imagination ~ very unusual perspective. ThanX for the eXplanation!

Very interesting processing.
Hopefully I will be able to post mine soon. Having server problems again.
Are you sure? You seem to be stretching something, but I know not what. :)
I can prmoise I didn''t stretch.. Manipulate, yes!
Nice photo and interesting effect. Didn’t manage to visit in time. Internet was down for almost a week since last weekend.
