Kerzenlicht gehört unbedingt zum Advent! HMM! ☆☆☆

Danke schön, Frank =)

I placed the candle between double glass window to get multiple reflections.

Superbe !

Merci beaucoup, Anji =)

Und wenn Du denkst es geht nicht mehr, kommt von irgendwo ein Lichtlein her!

Exactly =)

I once spent one winter in Inari, 200 km north from polar circle, and there it was truly dark. And need for candles, fire and artificial lights was even compelling.

wonderful your interpretation.
Happy new week:)

Thank you, Annamaria =)

HMM and thanks for the explanation.

You are welcome =)

Very beautiful, Sami !! In France we had no Advent calendar and no candle lights before Xmas when I was young. At home we just made a Naivity scene without Jesus. My mother used to put a little sheep in the front of the scene that was moving day after day towards the D Date. Naturally I would have done something wrong, the sheep had going backwards. Well this was the ideal solution to have a peaceful time with me before Xmas !!! To conclude, on December 25, Jesus was added to the Nativity scene and we could open our gifts.

Thank you, Marie-claire =)

Because of comments like your's and lively discussion on MM2 discussion area I would not afraid to have such "religious" and "political" topics more often =D

Anything history and culture related can be interesting! We have ginger bread house tradition, which is a little like nativity scene. Or that is what they have became these days. It no longer contains only the house, but all kinds of stuff around and inside of it.

And did you know the Catalan tradition to hide a little "caganer" in the nativity scene? ;-)

No, Sami, never heard of this Caganer before lol ! Thank you for the info !! This is a tradition from the South of France!

About the caganer tradition, a current expression is "me cago en dió y en la puta madre que lo parió", (I poo on god and in the fucking mother who gave him birth ), maybe the caganer comes from there...? There are a lot of different explanations, the most recent one is that it was a way to manifest against fascism in Franco times, the church being allied to political power. Before that also a way against "Holy Inquisition" power...
Traditional but not very elegant anyway.
Italians have a "sporca madona empestata" and "dio cantante", maybe it comes from a similar reaction to church power?

Very simple and beautiful shot Sami, is it a reflection on a black miror behind?
