Lantern, its light and shadow by Lenka

Lantern, its light and shadow

An old lantern next to the entrance to the Virgin Mary Visitation church in Hejnice, Jizera mountains, Czech Republic. I feel that giving light is very symbolic for this place where the pilgrimage roads from several countries cross since the 13th century…

February 2002. Canon EOS 500N, Sigma 28-135. Post-processing: retouch, blend-modes, color correction, watercolor.

Lantern, its light and shadow belongs to the following groups:

Complex Simplicity of Art, Art Students and Beginners, Light up My Life - 2 per day, Live, Love, Dream, Mysteries of the Common, Religious Art & Photography and Silhouettes
