campfire.

sitting around the campfire

with music, friends and stories

winding down from a day on the lake.

“once all the power goes out,

there will still be human beings standing together around a campfire, playing acoustic guitars.”

We dont have campfires any longer, but we do have a terracotta Chiminea that provides the same vibe.
Best wishes, Pete.

Beautiful! Have you read Riddley Walker? It’s about the days when there’s no longer any electricity and the campfires have returned.
