Happiness is....

...a warm fireplace on a cold, stormy night.

Right now the wind is howling, the rain is pounding on the windows and the trees are bending so as not to break, while daring cyclists are fighting to stay on their bikes though hardly getting anywhere.

Oh yes, Denmark is having its first true winter storm. On a night like this, a warm and cosy fireplace like the one in this picture post would be nice to have. This particular fireplace, however, is a French one. I took the photo last year in november, while enjoying a late autumn holiday in the French Alps.
