52 Photo Challenge: Week 45-Nighttime

“Fire spirit, fire sprite
Share with us your golden light
Come for us our candle light!”
—Waldorf verse

This week’s assignment for the 52 photo challenge was to photograph something at night. As the days get darker faster, I find myself burning more candles. I wanted my photos to capture the warmth and comfort of flickering candlelight.

“This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine”

My lovely daughter agreed to be my model and we ended up with these Victorian-inspired photos. I think they capture a bit of the danger of the darkness too and I’m in love with them. Please let me know if you have a favorite and have a wonderful week.
