AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Creative Photography # 3 ~ Tears of Light

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Apple Candlelight
~
Creative Photography Contest #3
~
This candlelight always fascinates me. It casts beautiful teardrop shapes. I placed the lit candle on my wooden stairway so that the shapes would be highlighted! Then created a rough edge on the pic to suggest that this is just a precious fragment of more light!

Flickering light
Is a pure song
Like
Angelic choirs
Serenading
The shadows

That candle is so wonderfully luminescent. I would love something like that. I have a lot of candles, but this one is spectacular. Plus you took a great shot of it.

Add in your wonderful poetry to match...you are talented.

Cool, that candle holder throws great shadows! We've got candles all over the house too. After Earth Day, My 3yo demanded for two weeks straight to take a bath with only candle light.

Good luck on the contest!

I love candle play. The shadows, the effects.

This is one of the best I've ever seen. The wood stairs really add to the warmth of the shot.

A very beautiful entry for this weeks contest. I love the candle and the teardrops it cast onto the wood floor. Your poem at the end was lovely also. Good Luck!

Blessings,
Kimmie
