Someone on another blog was just talking about a young gal in a department store telling her that she (the young gal) didn't know what an oil lamp was... Mercy Me!!!! Betsy
Yes, I remember this as a wee kid and at the old homestead my mother grew up at. I have two of these, one at the cabin as cabin decor, another tall one in the barn waiting for a bucket full of water for the birds, maybe next spring. We woke to 18F degrees...cold, ice on the birdbath.
Your perspective shots are amazing, beautiful, fantastic. BlessYourHeart
