Maria Buytaert Candle - pink

At home

This very beautiful pink candle, one of the dwindling handful I have left from my store cupboard of Maria Buytaert Candles
bought from the factory near where I used to live in Germany, is burning in such a beautiful and interesting manner
that I wanted to try and capture it in a photo before it was finished. It looks like a candle with attitude!! ;)
These wonderful candles do burn for hundreds of hours and give immense pleasure with their warm glow and beauty and need to be lit to appreciate them fully.
I tried numerous camera settings, lenses, backgrounds, lighting, til I eventually found one
which I hope shows off the beauty of this candle.

Lovely capture Trish. Looks like pink ice where it's melted down.

In Brazil, when a candle burn with this kind of "attitude", says the popular culture that your biggest wishes will come true.
