Flaming House (House on Fire)
The next day we visited three iconic sites on Cedar Mesa. We were rained on as we crossed Comb Ridge and passed through Bluff. The rain stopped as we re-crossed Comb Ridge to the North and arrived at our first stop at Mule Canyon. This is a great hike and of course, the ruins are spectacular! Unfortunately, the clouds prevented the morning sun from casting a warm glow that makes this even more dramatic but I adjusted the white balance a little to help.

The Flaming Mountains (Chinese: 火焰山; pinyin: huǒyànshān) or Gaochang Mountains are barren, eroded, red sandstone hills in the Tian Shan of Xinjiang. They lie near the northern rim of the Taklamakan Desert and east of the city of Turpan. Their striking gullies and trenches caused by erosion of the red sandstone bedrock give the mountains a flaming appearance at certain times of the day

Cedar Mesa, Utah
I was waiting for the sunlight to reach the right angle and light up canyon walls that would reflect into the ceiling and bring out the fire of the sandstone vault. Ancient peoples lived here, tucked into the fold of an alcove above a stream, in a canyon like a hundred others,in the high desert in Cedar Mesa. I came looking for it in winter, hiking up through snow along the bottom of a wash that is in too much shadow too many hours of the day to get burned off. Climbing up, and happy to be out of the dry chill of the canyon bottom, I warmed and shed layers in the sun on the slickrock. No exception to other south-facing ruins (to take advantage of the sun's warmth), Flaming House Ruins--or, House on Fire as it's also called--is still intact. Too easily found not to have been excavated by thieves, they at least left the site intact, and we can try to imagine what life must have been like here. I appreciate the strength to get the masonworks up here, the fortitude to live so primitively, and their taste in locations. Because, as the light grows and throws it into relief, I realize this place probably wouldn't even be noticed today, if not for them.
For Scavenge Challenge #3: Modern, ballroom, folk, ballet...show us someone dancing.
How about an arena full of dancers? My sister got tickets to the Flaming Lips and asked me to go with her. They were unlike any rock and roll group I've ever seen. They put on an amazing show complete with humongous balloons, confetti, laser lights, a gigantic screen they moved up and down in front of the stage, a huge plastic ball that the lead singer got into and then climbed out into the group of people in front of the stage-held up by their hands, and even two people on stage dressed as a giant catfish and a robot! Quite an experience~
I have never uncorked a bottle of wine with my teeth before, such was the purest rage and desperation for booze caused by trying to make a ‘nice log fire’.
People drone on and on about how lovely it is to have a fire at home and while they coo about which wood smells the best and what celebrity has the same log burner as them none of them ever mention the concentrated rage that builds as fire peters out and you desperately thrust things at the non-flaming beast hoping to reawaken it.
I even youtube’d ‘how to build a log fire’ and watched various methods before skipping excitedly downstairs and trying to build a combination of all of them. I knelt before that fireplace making pretty structures with newspaper and kindling and logs and firelighters, certain that the placement of this particular piece will be the ambassador that leads the flames around the back of that log and up und through the hidden pile of coals in the centre to fire euphoria! I lit the wodges of paper and thrust those delicious smelling lumps of firelighter into every crevice before following through with a liberal sprinkling of kindle.
It burned so beautifully.
For one minute.
And once the newspapers burnt out it died.
And I shoved more newspaper into the mess and poked at the un-igniting logs.
And it burned beautifully.
Until the Sunday Times finished incinerating.
And then it went out.
And I roared – like my fire was meant to - and stomped off into the kitchen mumbling about how I wished I had one of those coal-effect fires that are so easily ‘turn off and on-able’.
Maybe I should just limit myself to these quick blast fires, flash fires if you will: screw up some newspaper, light it, watch it burn, 30 seconds later, done. My home-building, caveman instinct satisfied and I can go off to the pub.
But you can guarantee the minute I shut the front door behind me the tiniest weeniest spark from the one fleck of the News Review would set those obstinate apathetic logs aflame like a plastic sofa in an eighties fire safety video, and up in a blaze of glory would go the house. The people from next door with the wood burner would come out and say, hmm smells like an ash fire, no oak, no, no I think it’s apple, I wonder where they got that from, I think Gwyneth Paltrow burns Apple.”
(The flame you see in the picture is not superimposed, it was caused by a screwed up page from the Culture section and lasted 3 artistic, middle class seconds.)

We haven't had a tulip for a while, have we? This one was particularly beautiful when the light shone through its petals.
It looks quite different on black ... hit 'L' on your keyboard, or click on the image.

Flaming Gorge Reservoir is the largest reservoir in Wyoming, on the Green River, impounded behind the Flaming Gorge Dam. Construction on the dam began in 1958 and was completed in 1964. The reservoir stores 3,788,900 acre-feet (4.6735×109 m3) of water when measured at an elevation of 6,040 feet (1,841 m) above sea-level (maximum).
