Shot for Looking Close on Friday"
Theme: Candle Holder.
I have switched over to scented candle in glass containers - don't need to worry or watch them as much but this is still my favorite. It gives beautiful shadow play. HLCoF to All.
The Four Candles burned slowly. Their Ambience was so soft you could hear them speak...
The First Candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit."
Then Peace's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.
The Second Candle said, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable."
Then Faith's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.
Sadly The Third Candle Speaks, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer. People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them." Waiting no longer, Love goes out completely.
Suddenly...A child enters the room and sees the three candles no longer burning. The child begins to cry, "Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end!"
Then The Fourth Candle speaks gently to the little child, "Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles."
With Shining Eyes the child took the Candle Of Hope and lit the other three candles.
Never let the Flame Of Hope go out of your life. With Hope, no matter how bad things look and are...Peace, Faith and Love can Shine Brightly in our lives.

Prompt: "A still life painting of a pewter bowl containing apples, oranges, and grapes. To the left of the bowl is a lighted candle."
In the midst of the chaos, we pray for peace.
All condolences go to the people who lost their loved ones any where.

Micro (macro) photographs of lit candles, showcasing the amazing art that's produced when a candle's wick burns and the candle's wax melts into incredible shapes.
The heptagon is the seven-sided shape produced, I believe, as an artifact via reflection or captured lens flare from my camera's lens.
It took me awhile to be able to expose properly for both the burning wick and the flame itself, and it's challenging to get a sharp focus as I shoot these handheld.
