Good shot, but it seems to me more like Hanukkah candles.

Очень нравится...
слов нет как нравится..
именно свет. хрупкий как надежда....
стараюсь не дышать что бы не задуть его...

I am sorry that I don`t know anything about Hanukkah feast, but here in Latvia we light these candles and put them into windows of our houses a month before Christmas as a symbol of coming light.

Great work.

Thanks, Babette. It is a good thing to know about Christmas traditions in Latvia. I guess, I got confused by the shape of the candeleier - it is the same shape and number of candles Jewish people use to light during the Hanukkah celebration season (according to their traditions).

Ohh, I am a little bit surprised! I don`t think that number of candles has any special meaning here; it could be one candle as well. The idea is to bring as much light as possible into the darkness that is receding. You see, our christian traditions have always been strongly mixed up with those of our ancient beliefs celebrating the winter solistice smile

interesting shot...Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Beautiful.

( [7,8] it isn`t the same number, although the shape is very similar. But it doesn`t matter anyway. The term `festival of light` can be quite universal.)
