Description
The leaded window opened
To move the dancing candle flame
And the first moths of summer
Suicidal came
To join in the worship
Of the light that never dies
In a moment's reflection
Of two moths spinning in her eyes
--- Jethro Tull
It's just a leaded window in a door from the home center, but every time I look at this image, that song runs through my head.

A beautiful capture with great lighting and I love the little poem to go with it.
Note to self...read the notes before examining the picture. I spent some time looking for the moth:) Neat photo. Makes me think of a photo from Nikolay. Nicely done.
Great image! Love Tull!
LOVE this awesome black and white !!!! tom
Beautiful shot. I like the B&W treatment...makes it look really old!
Jethro Tull--wow, a huge fave---and like Bill, I kept looking for the moth--(duh, read the fine print, girl!!). The B&W is really effective here, beatiful door!!
Beautiful Tara. Glad I read Bill's comment first!
A really dreamy shot...like a look back in time. Wonderful shot.
impressive b/w impression! hey, cool, you know this song! I love the Jethro Tull songs and text! ;o)
Wonderful. When I read the ebot I was vaguely expecting a hole in a sweater...
Wonderful image!!
A very nice capture. I like the sepia.
You sure have an eye for these types of things.. very nice.

Wonderful! It is a very pretty door. I like the b&w.

Beautiful !
Splendid capture, enhanced by the B&W.
great shot!
wonderful!
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so much beautiful!!!
beautiful glass work
oh beautiful. I agree with Bill it has some Nikolay qualities, but it's also all you. I was stunned to learn that this was a window in the home center, because it could be a shot from an old, old home. For some reason it feels very Eastern European to me, maybe because I've seen E. European windows like this. (The floral curtain bolsters that.) You really transformed this, one by your subtle b&w & grays, two by the sumptuous lighting esp. in the horizontals, three by the glass reflections that look like digital layers (I know they aren't), and four because of that beautiful bit of curtain that you caught in the window. It has a 19th C. feel—heavy, laden with memory & delicate at the same time. A beautiful transformation. What you do with that home center...
moths and jethro tull and windows.....interesting combination,
wonderful work Tara May created a big smile warm hug and love, Linda Kaye
