Lightling

Lightling is the name of a character formed by photographing traffic lights, headlights, street lights, neon lights, or other lights, in the rain and usually night. They appear sometimes tiny, unformed, deformed or otherwise different that what they actually were. These lights often are anthropomorphic, seeming to take on facial expressions, interpreted differently by viewers, but fun and interesting. Unless the photographer what the Lightlings really are, people are not likely to know.

The photographer was taking Raintings of many kinds of lights through her rain-covered windshield. When she looked closely at some of them, many of the lights appeared to have human expressions. It was fun to see them and to know what they were in real life. She saw anger, smiles, doubt, all manner of expressions. One of her images had a lot of them gathered under a tree. Whether they were a new type of cartoon character or not, she felt they needed a name, hence Lightling.

Lightle

The last name of the cutest girl I’ve ever met. The last name of the girl I want to marry, the girl I want to have a family with and has been with me through everything. The girl who’s put me first no matter what was going on in her life. Not only is she the sweetest girl I know, she’s also the hottest, I can’t control myself around her and I want to spend every night laying next to her, if not on top😉

Lightle will end up changing to McNiven, with me.
