[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Candles at a Buddhist Temple near Daejeon. I liked the reflections of the flames at left & at the back, in the glass frame. That may even be my inadvertent self portrait!

I liked the interpretation by japiey:

Every heart is a candle...

This is Gapsa Temple (the 'Sa' part, is Korean for Temple). From Koreatemple.net : "Gapsa is a beautiful temple with a rich history. It is located in the western valley below the Yeoncheon Peak of the Gyeryongsan Mountain National Park, about 19 km from the city of Gongju. Its founder, the Venerable Ado, saw an auspicious beam of light stretching to the heavens from a pagoda called Cheonjinbotap, and then built this temple at the site. Gapsa literally means the Foremost Temple, and it earned the name with very good reasons."

What a good idea for the theme, Chris. I agree with you the reflections in the back are very nice, indeed. I love the pink colour and how all the candles are different heights, but the same candle. Great POV. Perfect for the theme.
Warm Regards

Hi Chris,
Interesting photo. The picture has very period look. I think you should have made this in to a sepia coloured image.
