Onto the next thing


Firewood, maybe. If you're at all curious about the environmental impact of heating with wood, visit the Canada-based woodheat website.

A quote from there:

"Whatever energy source you choose, its use will have an impact on the environment. The best energy sources are renewable and the best of those are solar power and wind power because their environmental impacts tend to be low. As good as they are, though, they do have their problems and limitations. Wood is another renewable energy source with its own problems and limitations, some of which can be managed and minimized, others of which cannot. But when it is used effectively, wood is a fine fuel compared to the fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal, whose consumption leads to global warming. "

Very satisfying image, Z. My dad instilled in me a respect for wood and showed me how to turn it. I love the way it weathers and cracks.

As others have said, this is a really nice shot. Excellent depth.

I like a nice fire, so cosy.

Unfortunately, it doesn't get that cold here in Mississippi, but we do have a gas flame thingie in our (ersatz) fireplace. :)
