Weekly Photo Challenge: Let There Be Light!

November here in the north is mainly, grey, rainy, dull, dark so the topic Let there be light is on the top of everyone’s minds. We had this beautiful light this morning…these photos are taken at 10:30 and it looks like its ready to go down again…so you can understand the joy of seeing this light.

But also one uses these sources light to have a warm atmosphere during this season of darkness
