Candle season is here

It is time to light the candles to give a beautiful soft light and make the house feel warm and cosy. I LOVE my Maria Buytaert candles from Germany, www.daenische-kerzen.de this one has developed a lovely and interesting shape Reflected on the glass topped table (to give me double the light) in the background is the TV showing the Detroit Tigers game, they are doing rather well!

Beautiful colors. The red and the blue go so nicely together.

Thank you all for your nice comments, it took quite a few attempts to get the exposure right, I used a variety of settings till I found one that produced the image I wanted. For the overseas viewers, Detroit Tigers play baseball ;)
