#Blackpool #Illuminations: A behind scene look

Just 35 staff design, build & maintain the annual light display, which has endured for almost 150 years

We don’t buy illuminations at all. We #manufacture absolutely everything

1 of biggest drivers for changes is #ClimateChange

Designers adapt displays to withstand stronger winds, while reducing their energy use to avoid exacerbating the very problem they are trying to mitigate against

Pas de magie de Noël dans le centre-ville de Montataire et encore moins sur cette partie de la rue de la République sans aucune illuminations...

La magie de Noël est définitivement partie de Montataire quand on se rappelle le sapin géant devant la mairie, des illuminations sur la mairie (photos avant et maintenant) et les principales rues de notre ville.

Cette année même les enfants de nos écoles n'auront pas de passage du Père Noël : une vraie honte !

@ascentale @bikenite A2) Next Saturday, December 13th, here in #SomervilleMA (just outside #Boston) we have an evening group bike ride touring residents' home lighting displays. The monthlong event is called #Illuminations, and riders are encouraged to dress up and be well lit for the group ride night.

Blackpool is wonderfully melancholic off season. The Illuminations are still on, and will be until January, but there are no lingering crowds and it's cold and wet. Part of the tableaux are old, which adds a flavour of nostalgia to the overall tshehovness of it all.

#Blackpool #Illuminations

A rainy, stormy beach and a boulevard with a switched off big light bubble, seen from a warm tramA light tableau with four very old fashioned, tivoli like suns with faces with different expressions, shining in darkness. I think one is a drug addict, one has a flu, one is high and one has hangover.

A painting from my sketchbook about atelier-life, inspired by medieval illuminations.

Made in gouache. Roughly postcard-size.

A painting from my sketchbook. The image is made in a vertically orientated rectangle in the middle of the page. Roughly postcard-size. The main image is in the middle, with a border of roughly one centimetre around it. It depicts me sitting in my atelier at my worktable. I am wearing a white shirt and blue trousers, and my hair is in a braid. I am painting. There is a mixing palette, clutter, brushes, a water bottle and a glass on the table.  Behind me stands an easel with a drawing on it. The surrounding border contains multiple small drawings, from top left to the right: A sun, a landscape with the sea and mountains where an open book lies in the middle of the scene, the moon, a dove, a pot with paint brushes, an inkwell flowing into water with two fishes swimming, sunflower, a sleeping cat on pillows, a rose, a black dove, a snake, and finally two pieces of fabric being sewn together. The whole is very colourful and inspired by medieval illuminations.

Wow, today I discovered William Morris's Kelmscott Press. Many books published by the press were plain, but some of them were *spectacularly* illustrated. All of these images are from the Wikipedia page about the press (but the ALT descriptions are by yours truly):

The book "News from Nowhere" open to a highly illuminated page with black and white decorations and a couple lines of red text. There are lots of floral decorations and a scene with an "...old house by the Thames to which the people of this story went hereafter..."This two-page spread from "The Altar Book" is a lot like the "News from Nowhere" spread - so I'm not going to duplicate that ALT. But the inset image has a nativity scene with The Three Wise Men bowing to Mary and baby Jesus. That's a pretty fancy manger!Edward Burne-Jones's illustration of the house made of "twigges" in "The House of Fame" from the Kelmscott Press's edition of Chaucer. The house looks like an enclosed floating cylindrical wicker basket in the shape of a big cheese wheel with little windows and doors all around it. There's a person and a big bird in the foreground looking at this weirdness. It's a surreal image and makes a neat contrast with the bold border framing the scene, featuring more of that incredible floral ornamentation.
