And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care

This fireplace was so warm and inviting at a restaurant we recently went to. It was hard getting this picture as there were people and chairs all around and I was trying to be discrete.

Thank you very much for stopping by.

You succeded well. Great shot of this nice fire place.
Our tradition is to set a shoe (with a carrot and straw for the horse) near the chimney on the 5th of Decemeber for ``Sinterklaas``

That's lovely. The stonework really is perfect background for the seasonal reds and greens!
