Fireplace in the Dark
This photograph titled “Fireplace in the Dark” conveys a sense of quiet solitude, accentuated by the glow of a solitary fireplace at the Park Vista Doubletree Hotel in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Captured through a 25-second exposure on the night of June 12th, 2021, around 1:00 AM, the image brings out the warm light of the flames against the deep blue of the night sky. The patio, paved with cobblestones, leads to comfortable chairs that invite reflection and relaxation by the fire’s gentle warmth. The tranquility of the scene is palpable, offering a private moment where one can bask in the serene atmosphere, secluded from the world’s hustle and enveloped in the night’s embrace.
