I liked camping and enjoyed when my Dad would bring a lantern on his little boat. He would turn it off so the stars and planets might be able to be seen. This was a nice symbol and hope you Ave a wonderful weekend. 🙂

Powerful line and camera shot. It’s such lamp that we city dwellers call primitive that ignites spark into each other’s lives:)

So well said, Vishal..they are still used in rural areas and perhaps the only means when there is a power-cut, which happens often..

Your picture is a reminder of those lanterns, that vanished from villages in my home state of Kerala since a long time ago. The yearning for light is reminiscent of Vivekananda’s observation that there is no darkness, only absence of light, no hatred, only absence of love, no cold stillness, only absence of lively warmth.
