Do you recognize this? Its a "ghost light", found in every opera house. When the last person leaves the stage for the night, he or she pulls out the light from the wings and turns it on, so that the house will never be completely dark. If you look hard enough you can see it on the stage (stage front right, i.e., on the left) in a shot taken from the mezzanine during our tour of the opera house this morning.
To complement this illumination I paused for enlightenment under
the Bo tree in the Selby Gardens. Apparently Buddha meditated for many days (years?) under such a tree and recommended that others did the same.
It didn't help me with my drawing exercise!
