These "flames" are sort of the opposite of shadows. They are the images made when

winter afternoon sunlight filters into my garden apartment:

 

The light is first filtered through bare winter limbs of a of a garden bush.

It then comes in through a floor-level frosted-pane window, and then

through the metal ranks of an old-fashioned floor-standing hot water radiator.

 

I did a lot of sliding of various kinds.Their purpose was two-fold:

 

- Enhance color and contrast so that you could better see what I saw with my own eyes.

 

- Increase drama and mystery. Doing some clone stamping, I have increased the extent to which the "flames" appear to be both "inside" the furniture and also coming out of the furniture and into the room,

 

Location: My home apartment in Riehen BS Switzerland.
