I was going to post this shot later in the week, but I found this picture and the hot glowing details so fascinating that I just couldn’t wait.
With no electricity, the stone fireplace centered in the old Shaw Island cabin was the only source of heat this weekend. A half circle of wooden rocking chairs formed around it, and my friends and I shared stories and Jam Jar wine as the rain fell outside. Not a bad way to spend a November day in the Pacific Northwest!
Watching the glow of coals in a fire is mesmerizing. You make me want to light the fireplace, but it’s still not cold enough for that here yet!
The cold will arrive soon enough, I’m sure. I heard this winter is supposed to be a rough one, and I’m anxious to see what that produces in terms of photography. Thank you for re-visiting my blog. 🙂
That does sound like a great time. I love watching coals in a fire, too. Beautiful colours and lighting in these.
I appreciate the feedback. There was a lof of magenta in the shot initially when I got it on my computer. I ended up toning it down a bit to get the reds to pop the way they do.
I agree, a very pleasant way to spend the weekend. It also helps that you were able to poke fun at a certain friend for not being able to FREAKIN TAKE A PIX OF THOSE DAMN BIRDS!!! 😛 hehehehe
