Monochrome Weekly: My home office/den on a chilly day

One of the perks to working from my home office, most of the time, is that I have the option of lighting a fire on a winter's day to distract me (I mean make me comfortable) while I work.

  1. The fire makes a wonderful focus in monochrome with all the other textures in contrast around it! Great photo!

  3. That is one of those shots that requires colour in the flames... but then I could not enjoy it like I do your header.
    Happy New Year, Carver - thanks for long time support.

  6. Oh how I'd love to sit before a roaring fire. Not many fireplaces to be had in Tel Aviv...

    It's a beautiful shot that really captures the imagination.

  10. You have a gorgeous and large fire place and mantel, Carver. I feel sure that fire would distract me a lot of the time what with the poking and restocking.

    Health and happiness for 2010.

  17. My feet are so cold right now I just want to park myself in front of that fire and sit for hours. Very nice, comforting scene.

  18. That's one item that is very rare in homes in Singapore. I can imagine how cozy it feels with it fired up during the cold winter :)

    Let's head for 2010 in a warm fuzzy way!! :)
