Candles and wild animals

Had to wait until dark to take these pictures. I got to thinking about Steve's artistic images and the elephants (that was my favorite mural from his set) and I remembered a hand carved box I got from Africa with the big 5 on it. In case you didn't know, the big 5 are the Lion, Cape Buffalo, Elephant, Rhinocerus, and the Leopard. Because of its nature, I thought light shining through the animals would be pretty. I put a single small pillar candle inside the box and then watched the light dance! I truly do miss Africa. It has been 3 months but I still feel its hold on me :)

Beautiful nighttime images, Jayme! The first one is my favorite...I love the composition and how the light spills all around. First jungles, now wild animals...it is easy to see how homesick you are for Africa. Well, if you can't be there, you can bring it here. Really enjoyed this posting...thank you!

Nice work Jayme. I too like the glow in the images. Maybe, in addition to your daily photo, you could add an Africa photo once in a while? I still haven't seen your experience in photos.
