Description
Light can be gentle, dreamlike, bare, lucid, misty, clear, hot, enigmatic, falling, straight, calm and soft but what it can never be is gloomy. We can laugh as much as we want by glancing at those naïve flies homing in on our light bulbs, but the irony of it all being that nobody loves those colorful, twinkling lights as much as our species does.It has so aptly been quoted that people are indeed like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. Just a little something to lighten up this festive season a wee bit more. My good wishes are always with you. Live long and prosper, while you still can. Happy Diwali!
I'm humbled, thanks a bunch for this Daily Deviation, my first!

What interests me here more is that you're from guyana, and yet you know quite a lot about diwali it seems Thanks a bunch for this. Loads of good wishes.

Haha, we've got quite a diverse culture over here - Christians, Hindus and Muslims.
I've got a multi-cultural family and friends as well so I get to learn about different traditions and celebrations

Haha, the reason why I don't burn firecrackers. It's always been about lights for me.

It is! But now most everyone here is not so much following tradition. Most everywhere you go there are fairy lights. It's really a pity cause the diyas are so much prettier.
You're velcome and you too! :}

Absolutely fantastic shot!
Though it is of my opinion that the borders you put are a little distracting from the awesome you capture...
