I have one of those razor blade scrapers (I think usually used for cleaning windows after a sloppy painting job) which I apply at least once a year. Sometimes two or three times. Makes a mess, but it is nice to be able to see the flame sometimes. We need a more modern woodstove that is better at keeping the glass clean.

This is great. I like seeing photography untethered from reality in order to create such beautiful surreal images as you have done here. I like this a lot but I won’t bore you with my ramblings. Instead, allow me to wish you a happy new year Ken. All the best.
Thanks, Cedric. This was more or less an accidental photo. I actually was trying to shoot another scene but, as it turned out, I liked this better. Sometimes you have to go with your gut.

This is something to look at… and enjoy. Warm and mysterious.
Thanks, Malin. I tried to take advantage of the flare I pick up on an unusually sunny day.
Didya burn yourself?
No. It was Kryptonite-free!
Very nice Ken! Great warm colours, like sitting next to a wood stove. Though the ‘glass’ is not nearly as dirt as the one on our wood stove.
Thanks, ehpem. I try to clean our glass fireplace screen at east once a year, whether it needs it or not. It usually needs it, though.
