Colors of Dispersed Sun Light
and this is what inspired me to join this Friday's letter L Blogging for Fun, and my entry is Light for L.The above picture is our ceiling. :) Have you tried looking up at your ceiling or walls when the sun light passes through your glass windows? You will see what made Newton conclude before that white light is produced from many colors. The glass prism disperses white light by refracting each color at different angle, and the separation of colors is seen. Just like with rainbows, sunlight is refracted by raindrops falling through the atmosphere, producing a display of rainbow colors. But then, we do not always have to be outside and have both rain and sun to see this dispersion of light, we can just be inside our home too. During the morning, when the sun rises from the East, the light enters our glass window, and I would look up at our ceiling, and I would also see what Newton saw in his experiment of glass prism before explaining why white light is made up of different colors.
Colors of Dispersed White Light on Our Ceiling
Right now, as I am typing this entry, I see the same rainbow of colors above my head. I find it cool, to be waking up with the sunrise, and then, see the colors of light hitting the house after.Anyway, here are some more light pictures:
Downtown San Diego Lights from Coronado Island
Light from the Horse Carriage, Seaport Village, Downtown San Diego
taken from Horton Plaza Mall, downtown San Diego
Light slowly leaving the slopes of the Sierras, sunset at Eastern Sierra, CA
Colors of Sky when the Sun Light Bids Goodbye, Sunset @ Old Town San Diego
Have a good weekend, everyone. The sun light is shining bright here in sunny San Diego, and as I end this post, the rainbow of colors on our ceiling now has disappeared, meaning the sun is already high enough :) and time to enjoy the beautiful world outside.

Oh beautiful photos! Sometimes, I see a reflection of light on the ceiling, but not as nice as yours!
Your photos always amaze me...they are really lifelike.....Great job Betchai.
Beautiful lights and what a variety! I'm going to be on the lookout for ceiling lights. :)
Betchai, You have a rainbow on your wall - that is so cool :) Seaport village looks like much fun. Amazing shots as always :)
Betchai, San Diego is one of my favorite spots in CA. I've been lucky to spend a good deal of time there and two of my closest forensic nurse friends, two fellow queens
( that's a long story ) live there and I see them often. We travel together, cruising mainly, all over.
What a nice rainbow to wake up too, and your photos are fantastic.
That is an awesome shot of the sunset from Old Town! In your first photo, I thought it was an aurora borealis if you didn't say anything. :P
Your photos are gorgeous. I especially like the first ones with the light on the ceiling. It looks so beautiful.
I got a "sun catcher" as Christmas present from my MIL and I hanged it by the window where it can catch the light at sun rise... it's amazing how the reflection of the lights dances on my ceiling.
a very creative idea for L. though i'm a diehard fan of sunsets, i love your ceiling light shots in particular this time. it looks like a rainbow to me. :)
as i type this comment, you must be out already enjoying San Diego sceneries. have a blessed and happy Sunday to you and Khai!
I love lines of sunlight that penetrate through leaves and woods.
The feeling is good, and sometimes I think of Mr. Bean... very funny.
Sometimes lying on the bed and watching the light makes me wonder about it. :(
I love the rays of light in the first image, it is so intriguing. So amazing to think that come from you ceiling.
Hi,Betchai!Good for you to have participated in our fun friday again, better late than never. I often see white light coming in to our house and they're so amazing BUT there's no way I can capture those lights on camera as good as you.Not only don't I have the right equipment,I don't have the skill either hehehe.
I'm only good in explaining to Bianca why rainbows appear.
You have an amazing collection of photos, Betchai!
lovely pictures!
great experiment with the lights betchai :) Good idea to try!
The reflection of your ceiling lights looks like coming from a glass prism! Beautiful capture!
Love the series of your old town SD photos, although I have never had a chance to visit.
P.S. I will let you know when we will be going to the Flower Fields. It would definitely on the weekend, and probably will stay overnight to visit DT.
i have been taking light for granted. looking at this post makes me realize that there r pic opportunities in light. i like the last pic best
I used to call these little rainbows when I was a kid. I used to watch them and dream of seeing a real rainbow. I never actually saw a real big rainbow in the sky until about ten years ago.
My ceilings are plain white. I don't get to see pretty rainbow-like lights like you do :)
Excelelnt set of photos..
First two are amazing!
Beautiful photos, Beth! Light on the ceiling, I see them but do not pay much attention. You are quick to spot beauty. Beautiful night lights and city lights! I also love your last photo. Very dramatic!
Grabe..so mesmerizing ang mga photos mo Ms. Betchai...superb captures.
Thanks for idea, yung the ceiling lights. Never ko pang nasubukan yun. This is what I love sa blogging world...everyday natuto ako.
Have a nice day.
Man! Where was that horse carriage this morning? I would have love to see it in person, let alone ride it.
Betchai what a wonderful post about light you put together. I love it~

How's the first week of work? I bet you're a busy bee again!
