My Rondomness

A social media post from John Harris, time stamped “Yesterday at 4:11 PM”: May the light we kindle be somewhat silly this year” featuring a picture of a house with a homemade yard display of a menorah in the front yard.

Each of the “candles” is actually one of those inflatable dancing tube men. The “shamash candle” tube man is bright yellow, and all the others alternate between blue and white. In the photo, only the “Shamash” and first “candle” (blue) are inflated and dancing. All others are still deflated.

The photo was taken around sunset, and there are three outdoor yard lights pointing at the menorah display.

Second image: nine different smart phones lined up on a tabletop, with the one in the center higher than the rest. The middle phone and the first phone on the right each have the image of a candle flame on the screen. The other seven screens are black.

Third image: a quilt on the floor in front of the quilter’s feet. The quilt has the shape of a menorah in yellow cloth of many different patterns against a background of cloth in many different patterns and shades of blue. Each candle shape has a red and yellow flame above it.
