An evening of bonfires



Last night my friend R. invited me and our
Polish friends B. and S. to a public
midsummer celebration.
Around eight o'clock a big bonfire was lit.
Seeing these children trying to stand
closer to the fire, I remembered myself as
a child. There was the fascination of watching
the flames, but also feeling the heat on your
body on the slightly cool summer evening.



When the sun went down around eleven
o'clock, we were standing on a different
beach where a group of young people were
celebrating.



Then we drove to the private home of
R.'s daughter and husband.
There on their private beach, sitting around
this bonfire, they were enjoying the evening.
By this time it must have been close to midnight.



Thank you R. for a great evening!
