That is absolutely beautiful! What moments to capture!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your message Jilly. I should have posted mine on this blog instead of the Monaco one since I will be meeting you in Menton next week :-) Can't wait. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful! ... and happy to see that Véronique and you will meet! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, wonderful! Must have been a cozy atmosphere in Gorbio!
ReplyDeleteHave a good time in Menton, Veronique + Jilly! (and many nice photo motives!)

Long live tradition!
ReplyDeleteI am all for communal traditons like this, even though they are religion-based.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful--the light, the petals. Well done, Jilly.
ReplyDeleteThose two old ladies leaning over their candles is an exquisite photograph.

You caught the perfect time when it isn't quite dark yet but the candles already shine and give their best.
ReplyDeleteI love this series.
J'aime beaucoup les deux visages illuminés par la lueur des bougies dans la première photo. C'est très beau.
