Fire Falls

Our arctic weather continues here in the Northeast, but our little home is nice and warm thanks to our trusty wood stove. One of its features is a glass window so that you can watch the fire burning (just like you would in a fire place). I noticed the flames wrapping around a log today in a really interesting way, so I took a shot and flipped it. It looks like a waterfall to me. What do you think?

Thank you Keith, Terry, Yao, Rick, Timothy, Carole, Sally, Daisy, and Alexandra! This was a such a pretty "burn" and I was out of ideas for things to shoot yesterday! As I looked at it, I thought that if I turned it upside down, it would really look like a waterfall- so that's how this shot happened.

[Lisa Poland]

Fabulous!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Thank you Lisa!

[Nicole Campbell]

It does look warm and my girls would be there toasting marshmallows :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole! It might be hard to toast marshmallows in there- but we have a spot in the backyard where we burn leaves and that is perfect for marshmallow toasting! Do you folks make "s'mores" there? In the US we take a graham cracker cookie, break it in half (to make two sides like a sandwhich), break a Hershey's chocolate bar (or a facsimilie thereof) in the same way and then put a toasted marshmallow in the center. Stack it together in the fashion of a sandwhich and the marshmallow warms up the chocolate a little and boy oh boy- high on the yum factor scale! This is a particularly favorite pasttime when camping, but it works pretty much any time you want it to. Some folks, when a campfire isn't available, put the whole thing in a microwave for a few seconds- but you don't get that crunchy, toasted marshmallow taste that way, and in mho it's not as good! Sorry to ramble like that!

Fantastic shot, Ann! Great colors and detail! It looks so warm! Well done.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bill_fe Thanks for the fav Bill!
@prttblues Thanks Bev! And thank you so much for the fav!

[Bill Fenske]

@olivetreeann Add bananas to the s'mores and you have a s'moregasm. Delicious. ;-)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bill_fe That does sound tasty!

[Dawn Swingle]

It does look like a fire waterfall, beautiful!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@rangerxenos Thank you Dawn!

[Vickie Posey]

Waterfall of fire, I like this :-)

[PamSnaps1]

Warm I like the way the fire seems to be flowing like lava over the log : )

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@vposey Thanks Vickie! Yes, that was the play on words in the title. Instead of a waterfall, it's a firefall.
@potsbypam Thanks Pam! I had fun with this shot in that it's actually upside down!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@potsbypam And thank you for the fav!!
