Glowing cone

Today I was at the commencement of the Institute of Social Work at Tallinn University as a photographer for a friend of mine (Jaanus Jõgisu, my former course mate at TUT), who's girlfriend (Sirli Kask) received the bachelor's degree. Being there, I found this unusual chandelier, that caught my attention.




PS. My camera equipment got updated with a MB-D80 Multi Power Battery Pack - so longer photo trips are now possible. The only downside is that if the camera has the MB-D80 attached, it won't fit to my Tamrac Velocity 7x sling pack :( Although I've had the battery pack only for a few days now, it has already become a nuisance to screw on/off the battery pack each time I take the camera out or put back to the sling pack. So I am definitely in need for a bigger camera bag. Currently I have Kata R-103 GDC Rucksack in the offing, mainly because it seems to have good build quality and it provides protection against shocks, but it can also hold my laptop. However, I'm still keeping my eyes and ears open, because there might be a cheaper replacement.
