[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Was in Sweden, had rented a Stuga (wooden hut, well, small house), it was late October, during the days the weather was fine but the nights extremely cold.
A roaring fire in the woodstove warmed up the place nicely, but it lacked a bit more 'coziness', so, with empty toilet rolls (a few cut in half), some alu-foil, red ribbon and some tealights, I made this groups of candles.

This image was donated to an Aids charity, because of all the symbolism it contains, within the candles.
They used it as a poster...


Have a super day and thank you for visiting, Magda, (*_*)

Hi Magda

I like the repetition & graphism of the candles. Nice warm colors. Have a good Sunday.

I see the symbolism in the one that is almost burned out, reaching the bottem; the others start to regroup around it to keep it still warm. It is the symbolism of our intentions with Christmas.
Thanks Magda
