Candlelight

Let there be light

Thursday 29th October 2015

By the time I got round to thinking about a photograph for today, it was nearly dark! Outside, it was another wet and dreary day. My wife had lit a candle in the sitting room and in the half light, I suddenly realised how early it was getting dark. There is something warming about a candle (not the heat), something cosy and looking at the candle it felt serene. I decided to borrow the candle and photograph it against a black background. I really liked the shape and form the melted wax had taken around the top and with the wick fairly low, it produced a nice translucent glow.
