Colourful Lights & Magnets

Here I am on Day Two of the November Photo A Day Challenge - the prompt for which is Colour.  Read here about my twist to this month's challenge.

Today's diptych is nothing like what I had planned - yes, I've begun planning my photos for the month!  Before I talk about this photo, let me tell you about the planned photo.  At my place of employ, there's some pretty funky decor/fixtures throughout the building in a myriad of colours which were going to form the basis of today's shot - think artistic angled shot of a multi coloured room divider.  There's also an in-house cafeteria which stocks re-usable keep cups for coffee in a range of bright colours (the shelf display is great) - a shot of these was to be the other part of today's diptych.  So, what happened?  I was too unwell to go to work today (damn migraine).  I'm ok this evening (lotsa drugs and sleep does wonders!).

 

This brings me to the photo above.  I found these funny magnetic thingys (technical term) in a box in our bookcase so made the word colour - yes I know, my artistic creativity truly knows no bounds!  Also in said bookcase was a set of Christmas fairy lights.  These were draped over my bedside lamp to create a colourful ambiance - oh alright, they were thrown across the lamp-shade and plugged in!  Not too bad a result I guess as the fairy lights cast some really pretty rainbows on the wall.

 

And that, dear reader, is the story of today's photo.
