Thank you.
In fairness, the photo is a quite abstract, so it's understandable that one might not immediately recognise the subject as a lamp.
Oh well. That makes the picture more intriguing, I suppose. ๐Ÿ˜…

This small lamp stood gathering dust in the corner of an old garage. With dusk fast approaching, for a brief moment, the sun, peering between a gap in the trees, cast its warm light upon this long unwanted article, as a ray of warmth and hope piercing despair and loneliness.

@MaryMamuzich Quite.
Thanks for asking. My day has been fairly relaxing. The past week has seemed rather long; any moments of rest I positively snatched from each day.
Anyhow, I've no complaints. It's nice to be kept busy. It makes any periods of rest and leisure that much more sweet. I think Solomon said something to that effect in Ecclesiastes.
Hope you're having a good day also. Although, I suppose it's probably about mid-afternoon for you at the moment.

@MaryMamuzich Thanks, Mary.
Actually, about "that morning," I should have specified: the morning I refer to took place sometime in January 2021.
The weather here in England is in fact quite fair at the moment - still suitable for shorts and sleeveless shirts I reckon. ๐Ÿ˜ โ˜€๏ธ ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ

Even with such a piffling layer of snow that morning โ„๏ธ, I was determined to get a decent photo. Any landscape shots were out of the question; the so-called 'snow' quite honestly left much to be desired. Being brutally honest, I should have to admit that the pathetic film of frozen liquid on the ground really more closely resembled sleet.

Nonetheless, as aforementioned, I was determined to find a way of seeing beauty in the weather's frankly pitiable attempt at snow ๐ŸŒจ๏ธ. So, I turned my attention toward details, searching for small clumps of the frozen sludge on fence posts and flowers ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿชต. I eventually located this leaf, which was still covered with the stuff. A trifling amount of creativity in post-editing saw the colours adjusted considerably to produce a more pleasing colour palette. ๐ŸŽจ
Feel free to share your pictures of snow (doubtless yours will contain a slightly greater amount of snow). โ˜ƒ๏ธ

A stray splash of sunlight glows softly on the side of a pale red brick wall during a tranquil sunset one calm summer evening.

The plain, geometric composition of this image permits the binary colour palette to draw the viewer's attention to the mildly ethereal blend of its two complementary colours. A vibrant blue, the dominating colour, is sharply contrasted by aย subdued shade of yellow, giving the picture a dual ambience that is both enchantingly unusual and comfortably restful.

Another ideal wallpaper I think - textured, yet plain. The spotted shade cast by a tree above working in conjunction with the scattered debris conveys a simple, rustic ambience blended delicately with refreshing, summertime undertones.

@MaryMamuzich
Yes, I like the blue sky too. I thought it created a pleasing contrast between the highly textured roof and the pure blue sky.

Weather-beaten roof tiles on an old barn in the English countryside.
I do love the character of some old buildings.

Thanks, Antonio. I do feel very blessed. ๐Ÿ˜Œ
