Don't get me started. I actually can't go into much detail because the case is

Do they grow wild in the Tuscan woods perhaps ?

You see them in scenes you photograph, and you photograph scenes lit by
them.

If you mean "not man-made," about the only light source that comes to

A whole sentence/post in capitals is shouting. One word is emphasis.
In my book, at least.

do.
