Amaryllis Buds

Amaryllis flower is my late mom's favorite. We still have these plants in the front yard. As it's seldom flowering; I always capture every flowering moment of these flowers, since their buds stage.

My entry for The Weekend in Black and White this week.

Door Bell

Most of the many types of bell on the market can be installed in a couple of hours. Try to avoid the ones which play a symphony; their charm wears thin rapidly. Units that have adjustable volume are handy if you are often in the garden.

Buy a bell that comprises a bell unit, push-button assembly and batteries. Keep a supply of batteries on hand! If wire is supplied, check that it is long enough to reach from the front door to where you want the bell installed. You can run the wire on top of the skirting; at its base; tucked down behind the carpet; under the floor.

Bring the wire up to the bell unit alongside a convenient architrave. Don’t install a bell close to sources of heat or steam.

When marking the position of push-button; drill 10 mm holes through the jamb in two directions so that wiring can reach the inside in an unobtrusive place.

Lighting Improvements

Lighting, like heating, consumes energy. A little common sense can go a long way in helping minimize electricity bills.

1.Dusty and dirty light globes can reduce lighting efficiency by half, to say nothing of the added eye strain they inflict. Cleaning them regularly will make a remarkable difference.

2.Fluorescent lights use a third to a quarter of the power of a conventional bulb. Down lights and spot lights are attractive but fairly inefficient forms of lighting.

Have you ever heard of shoji lighting?
This lighting solution is practical, efficient and very striking to look at. Fluorescent tubes are ugly and give out a bright light that’s inappropriate in some rooms. Here, their glare is softened and their overall appearance dramatized by the use of a false ceiling constructed of Perspex and supported by an egg crate-style timber frame.

This style of lighting has more applications than simply the ceiling. You could build two identical timber frames and sandwich the Perspex between them. Used vertically, this would make an interesting room divider.

Street Paintings Gallery

This street gallery is located near the center post office in my city (Bogor, West Java, Indonesia). When I captured it, there’s no one around. I think the yellow flower painting make this shot is proper for MYM post. The bamboo trees on the back ground are just a little part of many trees inside Bogor Botanical Gardens.

Pine Forest

On the way to Mount Pancar Hot Baths (Babakan Madang, Sentul, West Java, Indonesia), we passed trough this pine forest.
