Christmas Eve, 1917
Soft silence and wan illumination,
the midwinter moonlight upon the snow,
my solemn vigilant rumination.
A candle's meager warmth, wavering glow
Casts sorrowful shadows on your likeness
Your faraway likeness; in dark, I yearn,
your kind voice, strong hands; your shy kindness;
For these I wait, Love; when shall you return?
Dedicated to those who fought Over There, through Christmas Days past and present, and to those who wait for them and pray for their homecoming.
Thanks to kandagawa-san for his lovely scan

oh..u need to work a bit on your extraction n.n
Nice wallpaper. The background fits very well with the scan.
it ssuch a lovely wall but you just let yourself down with the scan. its grainy in some areas and it needs to be cleaned. it may seem difficult with that scan but some hard work should get you there.
it does no justice to such a beautiful background and everything.
so beautiful! love the background! Great Work!
Aww, that is so beautiful! She looks so lonely! She can always come to my house for christmas!
wow! very pretty wallpaper!
i love the background!
the scan is beautiful!
great work!^^
wow! pretty! *__* Another great wall! ~_^
whoa! this wallie is so beautiful!
the scan looked like an ancient one, yet it looks nice.
the candle and the photo frame gives a lonely feeling.
the scenery outside the window is great!
another great job sylachan!
wew, that's very nice wall ><, I love the BG with glass window and snowflakes ><, it's so pretty, thought, the scan color is a bit weird, but she's so fit with the BG
a fav from me for sure
wow

from u and this time its really dark but
its still lovely
a fave from me
Really beautiful work ^^ It looks really cool, though also a bit sad.... It's christmas and she only has the photo of her beloved.... I'm glad that I don't have to be alone this christmas ^^ Hope you're not alone too.
Thanks for sharing *adds to fav*
Wow sylvacoer! lovely wallie ^___^ Carnelian drawings are great
cool! +fav
Wow, let me catch my breath it's so amazing wallpaper!
What a really pretty wallie. I love the scene and I especially love the frosty windows. What a nice detail to enhance how cold it was. The color of the scan is a lil off but it matches perfectly for the time and wallie. This is really pretty work!
wow
this is a lovely wallie
i like the bg and the composition is great but the shadows are a litle mixed around i mean the light on the girl and the sourse of light from the candle and window
WOW! @_@ That is soooo awesome..........I love it it's my new fav
so beautiful!
Oh, it's so so pretty...I love the background part, with the window and the snow dusted outside. It's really good!
oh wow, your background through the window is so beautifully detailed...i especially luv the frosted look of the glass panes!
the atmosphere here is very somber but perhaps a little hopeful, too as she waits for her loved one to return!
your concept is also so wonderful!
das sieht so wunderschoen aus
wirklich ich hoffe du gewinnst im wettbewerb ... deine arbeit ist mehr als nur gut und vor allem gefallen mir die eisgefrohrenen fenster ... this is of course a fav girl u did a awesome work
cute!
How sweet ^_^ I got the scan long ago and i love your idea h ere
Fav from me, sweetie ^_^
Nice wallpaper. Very nicely executed especially the background. But I think that the windows should be a little blurred and white because due to that the inner side of the house is warmer and mixed with the colder atmosphere outside, the window must have been blurred.
And the candle is not angledly oriented with the picture.
But overall, nice stuff.
