Chanukah is celebrated over 8 days, so the final night is always a treat with all the candles glowing. In contrast, on the first night, only two candles -- the one used to light the others, and the one representing the first night. I liked how tonight's candles flickered out at different rates, almost like they wanted to prolong the holiday as long as possible.
The final night context is in my extras album: https://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2020-12-17
I love the story of Hanukkah and the lighting of the candles even though I am not Jewish. I just think it's a wonderful lesson for children and adults alike. Beautiful shot!
Just flicked to the other photo - LOVE those menorahs and the image is so beautiful. Love these close ups of the candles. It fascinates me too how they burn at different rates and I love the idea of them wanting to prolong the festivities.....
