A fire still amuses as it must have through the ages past. Since lightening first struck that tree they must have sought the warm and sights to behold. Floating color, as elements burn, allows pause and sleepy meditation.
This is temporary happy.
"Seaport by Moonlight" A 1771 painting by Claude-Joseph Vernet in the Louvre in Paris.
A detailed presentation (he depicted many French ports and ships): I wonder how he painted by moon and fire light.
I use this as desktop background and only recently noticed the fellow asleep on the anchor behind the folks at the fire.
How did those sailors keep warm on those wooden ships?
