    wonderful light effects from the candles of remembrance and I love the way this is balanced by the light coming in from the door,cathy

    now this little "niche" with its primevally cumbersome looking floor – built to last and to bear… – finally provides me with the sense of belonging, the intimacy and warmth of a cocoon, that the the imposing altar-and-icon view naturally cannot: a sanctum, a port in a storm, perfectly suited, to receive sorrow and to give solace and peace of mind in return! beautifully captured, alexander! once again, the light, tender, patient and comforting this time, is the star of the image. how it's tenderly lingering on the floor… it would make a stone cry! ; ) greetings, sabine.

    Lighting a candle is a lovely way of remembering a lost loved one, and here you have aptured the feeling of quiet reverance in this softly lit place.
