Been there in that place
Done that, but never answered
The lamps became dark.
Butter lamps always burn.

A fine write and pic M.
Ours is chicken and pork today plus generous glasses of sloe gin. Daughter and family due soon.
I've just balanced on ladders clearing gutters and I'm ready for it.
Michael,
I havenāt thought about or heard those two words ābutter lampsā in a very long time! My Italian Great-Grandmother would always say ...
āLasciate quelle candele di burro accese per il resto della vostra vitaā...
Thank you for sharing your talents, Maestro! Youāre amazing!

Used by the Buddhist monks throughout the Himalayas - and yes - they continually burn. Thanks Laura.
The amazing thing about those lamps is that the cotton wick burns forever, if ones keeps feeding the lamp with butter, and thus the message in my last Diwali Greetings
May all the lamps in your house shine bright
And the darkness be always kept at bay
May all your progeny stay healthy and flourish
Just as the lamp by the oil is nourished
Thnx for both pieces of art.
