Fire!!!

What is our fasination with fire? Why do we like to sit and watch a fire burning in our fireplaces or sit around a campfire and watch it burn?

Last night my sister had a few friends over and made a small fire in her fire pit in her backyard. They sat there talked, toasted marshmellows, gossiped for hours. They drank some wine, caught up on girl talk.

I was just fasinated with how it burned. Being a retired volunteer fireman, fire has always fasinated me. I enjoyed put them out as much as watching them burn.

The heat from the fire really felt nice since it was a littel chilly. My niece was toasting marshmellows, she fell asleep watching it. My sister and her friends were talking, enjoying the fire until a little past midnight. The fire in the photo is a shot of the fire last night.

People have been fasinated by fire since it was first discovered, people have been trying to control it, tame it and use it since, but fire is dangerous, no matter how much we try, we will never be able to control or tame it.
