Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, United States) on 16 January 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

These colorful light globes appeared to be floating as if in space, above an indoor pool at Sun City Center, a Florida retirement community (we were visiting some older friends).

The globes caught my eye -- just seemed kind of retro or deco or something kitsch-esque at the time. So here you go...

Please pray for Bella.

Bella Update: 07/23/08. Wednesday. Another good Bella morning, she is in good spirits, even with they mysterious disappearance of our normally numerous and active neighborhood squirrel population. Maybe "Sheriff Bella" has cleaned out Dodge and sent all those tree-climbing hoodlums packing. Heh.

Bella and I appreciate each of you for caring and praying. Please understand this miracle being prayed for, because although it is day by day, it also may take a bit of time for completion: Bella's battle for life, wellness, and a healed heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run.

What we have right now are daily blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle that is slowly unfolding.

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

Gosh! it does look like it's in outerspace, but I should imagine that it would be very relaxing to swim under these lights, a great shot VF.

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada

Throw in some music like Gustav Holst's The Planets Suite and they will all make sense.

16 Jan 2008 11:39am

@Michael Rawluk: What a great idea!

Dylan from Delhi, United States

Nice shot. They remind me of hot air balloons, only without the baskets.

Chris from South Jersey, United States

Nice image - I like the play between light and dark. It looks like something out of Star Trek (the 60s version)

16 Jan 2008 11:55am

@Chris: Yeah, it does. Cool! Guess I'm something of an old "Trekkie" at heart. It was once my favorite show (as a teen).

Shrig from NorthEast, United States

This is really nice. I think it might be a future desktop photo for my computer. Really nice.

Way cool VF!!! It's a fantastic image to just stare at... love the colours and "lightness" against that black background. It so works!!!

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

I was looking at today's post and realize I didn't see this one from yesterday - a great capture!
However, I had to chuckle at your comment on Sun City Center's "older folks" ... you're treading on thin ice! <grin>

@Judy: Lol. I'm AARP eligible, but at 58 living around these parts I am still a youngster by contrast.
