Fireplace.
In 1851 gold was discovered at Hill End and with that came a massive surge of humanity all of whom were seeking their fortune.
Some did manage to make their fortune or perhaps perceived fortune.
Today many of the dwellings are a reminder and a direct link to that era.
One such dwelling gives the appearance that perhaps the gods of gold were generous to the family who once lived here.
The very construction of the house and this beautiful fireplace and the size of the rooms all betray that it took wealth to build and to maintain a lifestyle that only a few would enjoy.
Its windows gather layers of dust that have taken generations to accumulate.
Its external walls were once rendered and it too is falling away with time.
Perhaps in a time now long past a miner and his family would have sat around the hearth on a cold winters by a log fire enjoying the fruits of their hard labour.
Maybe the wife sat in a corner knitting or partaking in some type of needle work listening intently to her husband as he delivered an oratory of their future
ambitions.
Children are sitting near the hearth and entertaining themselves by watching and creating imaginary mystical figures as the flames leapt from the burning logs.
Like everything times and fortunes change and so too did the gold rush that created Hill End.
As the gold ran out so to did those who had rushed to the area seeking their fortunes.
In their wake we are now left with a valuable insight in the lives of a few of these people and their story is told within the confines of the dwellings in which they once dwelt and the fireplace where so many dreams were created.
Hill End, New South Wales, Australia.

In Russian this configuration would be known as kapić .... where the fireplace/hearth serves as the structural and familial center of the house. The house literally "hangs from the stack" and the Family life is "centered" in the structure.
It's going down to -2F tonight and I'm glad there's plenty of firewood in the pile. Don't even want to go outside to get it.
Stay warm everyone!

Wind and snow swirling around outside and a warm fire inside. A happy and prosperous New Year to everyone!
Was going to go out shooting today, but it is snowing. Here is a shot of my sister's fireplace on Christmas Day.

Is there anything more magical than an open fireplace while the snow falls outside on a winter’s eve.
Two ambient frames blended together, a darker one for the left/brighter half of the frame and a lighter one for the right/darker half of the frame. Shot for an interior designer. This was from the CamRanger-less shoot (rug was super-crooked...straightened in PS :) I wish the rug had been wider so that it could have extended further out on the right side.
Also wish I could have shown the tiles a little better here. The tiles were the most important feature to my client in this fireplace scene. She wanted to include the whole fireplace, though, so a tighter detail - highlighting the tiles - wouldn't work. There was a lot of room behind me to step back, so I started out back there at a longer focal length. But the further back I was, the more compressed and indistinct the tiles appeared. My client looked at the shot on the camera LCD, then showed me her iPhone photo of the fireplace and asked 'Can you get the tiles to look like this?' She's quite tall, so from her vantage point and with her iPhone tilted down, the tiles looked great. But this was our last shot and we were running out of time (client was already packing up), so I didn't want to potentially waste time trying out an angle that I was pretty certain would not result in a decent photo. So instead I stepped forward, shot a bit wider, and raised the camera a touch. This resulted in a better view of the tile, but not great. Any suggestions for how I might have approached this one differently? Higher camera position is the only thing I can come up with...
Feedback and suggestions are always much appreciated. Thank you!
