For today’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge I have chosen a selection of subjects, all of which are in some way synonymous with “hot”.
Light.
Pompeii burned alive by Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79.
Tiled stove.
Buns and my freshly baked bread.

Very nice pictures. The tiled stove is really amazing.

In the old days, tiled stoves were in every home. Of course not that elaborate – one like that could have stood in a mayor’s mansion. Ordinary people had ordinary tiled stoves, in one color, but even those usually had ornaments that made them beautiful. My friend in Poland has one at home to this day. The only downside to it was that you had to lug a bucket of coal every day.

My grandfather was a craftsman who could build tiled stoves. It was very common in Sweden too in the old days. 🙂

Lots of cool things were common in the old days, but did we appreciate them? As much as now? At all? I wonder sometimes. Some things we grow to appreciate as we get older, that is for sure.

I used to make one like that every day. My family devoured it. I really don’t know why I stopped baking it. Well, tomorrow is a new day and I am going to make one.
