Paula’s Thursday Special this week is to post a photo with a ‘Backlit’ subject. Here’s one of the many chandeliers at the Ammazulu Palace Hotel in Kloof South Africa, where we stayed in September. It really reminded me of Dale Chihuly’s wondrous glass sculptures, although it most probably isn’t.
Thank you all for your kind anniversary wishes yesterday. Hubby and I had a most enjoyable day and evening. Wishing you all a very happy weekend. I will be packing my cases for our Christmas trip to England. I think it’s going to be fun, once the Miami airport experience and the night flight is behind us.

Lovely blog 😉
Thank you so much, 🙂
Travel safely 🙂
Thanks, Tandy. 🙂
Have a safe trip and a wonderful Christmas holiday!
Thanks so much, Helen. 🙂
Safe and happy travels, Sylvia!
Thanks, Stacy. 🙂
Happy travels Sylvia 🙂
Thanks, Gilly. 🙂
Sylvia, I absolutely love Chihuly, and would love to own a piece of his work. But expensive and fragile glassware doesn’t really fit into a traveler’s lifestyle, so I’ll just have to keep admiring it in photos. When we lived in London, we spent 3 Christmas holidays there. It’s a wonderful, quiet time. Have a great holiday and trip to England. ~James
Thanks so much, James. When we went to the Norton Museum, there were a few pieces of Chihuly that I would happily have given house room to. 🙂
Enjoy your holiday, Sylvia!
Thanks, Aletta. 🙂
Have a good flight, and take lots of photos in England
Thanks, Gerrie. I’ll try, but it’s going to be a very busy time. 🙂
Lovely! Hope your journey goes smoothly and have a great Christmas in England. Pack your wellies!
Thanks so much, Anabel. I don’t have any wellies, but I’m taking my snow boots. 🙂
They’ll do! New wellies are on my Santa list.
Enjoy your trip
Thank, Derrick. 🙂
I’m a huge Dale Chihuly fan and because he’s from the Seattle area I get to see his work often, I can see what your saying and I think you’re right.
Thanks, Charlie. Glad you agree with me. 🙂
What a cool light! Enjoy Christmas in England.
Thanks so much, Fi. 🙂
Sorry to miss the anniversary, Ad. Have I turned up in time to help with the packing? No snow for you this trip! Hope you have a wonderful time 🙂 Safe travels, hon.
Thanks so much fro the packing advice and safe travel wishes, Jo. I’m sure we’ll have a great time. 🙂 xx

Where do you live? The photograph is quite good. Have a warm and sunny holiday. I am in Asheville, NC and it will be high sixties and sunny here. Hugs, Barbara
We now live in West Palm Beach. It’s really warm here most of the year. 🙂
We just moved to Asheville, NC. Have a good weekend. Hugs, Barbara
Happy to hear this reminded you of Dale Chihuly’s glass sculptures. He does like to place a light source to reflect the beauty in the colors. This was really lovely, Sylvia. Hope you sleep through the travel or find something engrossing on film or reading:) You will be so happy to see your daughter, worth the long trip.♡♡ xo
Thanks, Robin. Glad you enjoyed seeing this chandelier. I’m hoping to sleep on the plane, but one never can tell. 🙂 It will be a wonderful family time over Christmas. 🙂 xx
There is nothing better, in my mind, then family gathering to celebrate the holidays, whatever one’s family chooses. Yes, I saw lots of excitement in your words and send you big hugs, laughter and special (making new and remembering old) memories to continue threading your lives together. 🙂 🙂
Thank you, Robin. Yes I’m very excited. I hope I can sleep tonight. 😀
Guess what, Sylvia? I was worried I had missed more posts than I really did. Hope you had a fun-filled time while traveling. . . Here it is now Happy New Year time! 🙂
Safe travels, Sylvia. Have a very Merry Christmas.
Thanks so much, Carol. 😃
