Windows reflections on melting candles.
Taken in candles room, at the main church of Aparecida city, religious catholic capital of Brazil.

Brazil is the largest Roman Catholic country in the world. In October of 1717, Dom Pedro de Almedida, Count of Assumar, was on his way to the state of Minas Gerais from Sao Paulo. He would have to pass by Guarantinqueta, a small city in the Paraiba river valley. The people of Guarantinqueta decided to hold a great feast to honor the Count, and a lot of fish would be needed. Among the fishermen were three men who always prayed to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception -- Domingos Garcia, Joco Alves, and Felipe Pedroso. Before going out to fish, they asked God to help then in this difficult task, to find enough fish at this time when no fish were available. Felipe knelt and prayed, along with his companions, "Mother of God and our Mother, we need to find fish!" After many hours of catching nothing, the fishermen were very depressed. Joco cast his net once more near the Port of Itaguagu, but instead of fish, he hauled in the body of a statue. The three cast their net again, and brought up the statue's head. After cleaning the statue they found that it was Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. Naming their find Our Lady Aparecida, they wrapped it in cloth and continued to fish; now their nets were full.

A very strange compo : actually I find it hard to "see" the candles... You have to figure them, which must be the purpose of your pic. Thanks.

It is a lovely scene, with great colours. I like the black around the composition. Can you tell me what the blue section is; it is rather intriquing and nice.

very creative and nicely taken shot.. really unique and interesting.. i really like the colors and the overall lighting of the photo.. very good composition and framing too.. -thong-

Composição bonita e interessante, reflexos mágicos a cada olhar encontra-se novos detalhes, luminosidade perfeita. Ótimo trabalho.

Felicidades

As vezes eu me pergunto! Como ela consegue isso??
Composição criativa e muito linda. O seu olhar é muito afiado! parabéns Carmem.
Sempre recomendo aos amigos: "Dêem só uma olhada no que ela é capaz de fazer com uma câmera!"
