On weekday mornings I get up in the dark about an hour before sunrise. I like to wake up gently so I don't turn on lights.
I light candles instead.
One morning as I was standing in the kitchen doing stretches in the candle light, waiting for my tea water to boil, I turned toward the sink and saw the play of chrome and shadows that the candles were casting on the yellow tile backsplash.
I've been playing with these shadow shots ever since. It's a very pleasing way to greet the new day.

I can't believe that kitchen utensils can create such romantic shadows! Beautiful! And love the candles!
The candle light makes soft shadows.
Lovely shadows the candles make. But you weren't too sleepy as you had the presence of mind to take photos! :)

My goodness, Christine, unbelievable shadows! :)
Intricate shadows!
Here's my shadow shots, have a lovely Sunday!
I can imagine the movement the candle flickering can create. These are cool shots.
A candle lights my way—
I prefer its gentle light
to electric glare.
