A few years ago evidence was found that humans have been using fire for a million years.
A million years.
A million years of warmth.
A million years of cooking.
A million years of fires…
… and those moving flames are still captivating.
You would think a million years of experience ought to turn something mundane. Or, more realistically, a winter’s worth of fires in the wood stove, but I still get stuck watching the flames. Thanks PhoTrablogger for hosting another Mundane Monday Challenge!

Gorgeous image! I love watching the flames as well…we have been eating more by candlelight lately, and it makes everything seem more peaceful and elegant…even grilled cheese! 😉
It does doesn’t it? And you can’t see any mess that may or may not be outside that circle of candlelight either! 😉
Ahah! That’s one of the best parts!!
Fire is never mundane, and that’s perfect. 🙂

Fire is fascinating. Watching a camp fire, just a pile of old wood, or an old shed! Why is that?
I’m not sure, but those changing flames never get old do they?
The way you captured the flame is really beautiful 🙂
Thank you. It was a pleasurable job sitting in front of the wood stove and clicking away! 😉
Glad you enjoyed the process 😉
You have taken a great shot … the fire seems almost ‘solid’!!!
Thank you. It was fun to play around with the camera settings on this one!

Oh, again I love that perspective. I too have always been drawn to a wood fire. The smell but the mesmerizing dance is what really captivates me. A million years.
That constant ever changing movement really is mesmerizing isn’t it?
Oh I’m just the same with fire and flames….it’s a great mindfulness practice to sit with the shifting shapes and colours…I find the more I look at fire the more magical it seems!
Yes, isn’t that amazing how the more you watch the more magical it gets?!?
