The Face in the Fire
So we had a Midsummer bonfire yesterday (complete with throwing in a twig of St.John´s wort that I had brought) - very nice.
It was only a small fire in the fireplace on my parent´ s terrace and there were only the three of us.
But we had fun and some grilled sausages and afterwards some “Hollerkuechel” (elder umbels fried after soaking them in pancake dough). Just what you have to do at midsummer, isn´t it?
When the fire had burnt down a little, my mother was astonished to discover a face in the flames - no, no large amounts of alcohol were consumed by any of us - see for yourself:
The face-like form was there for quite a while - but then my mother started detecting horses and dragons and a king with a beard and then I thought that perhaps there had been some alcohol after all???
No, it really is fun trying to make out forms in a fire or in embers. Try it out!
And I like my photo ….
What did you do on Midsummer? Tell me, will you?

I just took some fire pictures… I am fascinated by fire and now fascinated by fire pictures.
