It seemed the perfect evening for a winter fire outside in my yard. There was no wind so it wasn't overly chilly and I stayed out for a few hours until I went in for a bowl of home-made soup.
Here the fire is starting off, with strange transparent flames that made it seem that you were looking at the reflection of the fire and not the thing itself.
Later it settled down and burned hotter, the embers in the photo showing up like a lava flow.
It is an enchanting thing to be with both elements at once.
