This fanciful light fixture hangs in a local restaurant. Interestingly, they have installed Plexiglas onto the ceiling so that you see the reflection of the lights above.
Initially, I was going to use the English title "the chandalier". However, the word chandalier in French means candlestick. Lest any of my French friends think I don't know that this is not a candlestick, I went with the French word for hanging light fixture, "le lustre". Actually, if I had just titled it "lustre", I could have it both ways because lustre in English (that's the British spelling; luster is the American spelling) means reflected light! Raise your hand if I lost you here.
In any case, this post is dedicated to my bouncing bride who is celebrating her birthday today, and thus a photo that sorta kinda resembles candles on a birthday cake. Bon anniversaire, mon amour !
That is a lovely effect!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your wife!

DeleteJe souhaite un très bon anniversaire à l'amour de ta vie. Nul doute qu'il sera beau avec les amis et la famille réunis de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique.
ReplyDeleteMerci, Anne. Nous sommes déja avec les petits enfants !
DeleteOui, oui. La vie est belle, grace à ma famille et mes amis.
DeleteLike that reflection on the ceiling.
ReplyDeleteIt was really unusual. I've never seen Plexiglas on the ceiling before.
Deleteinteresting, i would have called it a chandelier :) i was wondering about the reflection until your explanation!
ReplyDeleteAnd in Roanoke you would be correct ! Anyway, we're right down the road from you now... with the grandkids !
Deleteand happy birthday to your wife!
ReplyDeleteI guess one Swedish word for this could be takbelysning.
