This lamp is one of many suspended between buildings over a busy pedestrian street in The Hague. The weather was great for that time of year and I had a Nikon D90 to play with for the day. This was two days before the meltdown.

This lamp is planted next to the promenade that straddles the Noordzee and The Hague in The Netherlands. Beaches in Europe are nothing like we have in South Africa. The Noordzee version is lugubrious.

This lamp is just off the beach in Southbroom, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Over the busy festive season it lights the beach parking for holiday makers. The rest of the year it diligently illuminates the area every night without a soul in sight.

Traveling and taking pictures are two of my favourite activities. I also have a thing for lamps of all shapes, sizes and degrees of illumination.

I frekkin love them. Lamps are everywhere – in the street, on the beach and dangling between buildings. They add an aesthetic to urban landscapes and define the emotion of a space when the natural lights go out.

‘I love lamp’ is a category on my blog that allows me to express my love for travel, photography and… lamps. As I travel I snap pics of any lamps that catch my eye and stick them here. Weird? Maybe. But I feel like doing it – so I am.

The picture in this post is one of the first I took with the Nikon D80 I purchased in Japan and recently sold. It was taken on a rainy day in Sapporo, on the morning I left to travel back to South Africa. The dates of my ‘I love lamp’ posts are set to the day the picture was taken.
