Electrabel used 300,000 tealight candles and stop-motion photography to create this spectacular video to celebrate New Year’s Eve 2009. The video looks like fireworks produced from tiny flames on the floor.

iMenorah – 8 Nights of Hanukkah in your Pocket
Posted by lichtling | Filed under Allgemein
Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, started this Sunday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt of the 2nd century BCE. The festival is observed by the kindling of the lights of a special candelabrum, the Menorah or Hanukiah, one light on each night of the holiday, progressing to eight on the final night. For folks who want to take these holidays into the 21st century, a handy iMenorah might help to fit the observance of Hannukah into their busy lives.
