Torch Light

Outdoor Dining Tent, Shem Creek, Mount Pleasant, SC  © Doug Hickok


Like a flaming torch light, the glow of a setting sun illuminates an outdoor dining tent near a seafood restaurant on Shem Creek. On cool winter evenings you can sit outside beneath the enclosed canopy and keep warm while watching the fading light of day... a pleasant way to enjoy your favorite fresh seafood.

    Amazing!
    The reflection of the sky and clouds makes you think for a moment there is oil on the water!

    Aww... looks like a giant fireplace for people in Charleston to toast their favourite pineapples. ;o)

    >There is an expression in English about “wolfing down” food (eating voraciously, like a wolf),

    Ha... That was my intention. ;^)

    You know, we have these funny expressions in Chinese:
    Wolf = a womaniser.
    To eat someone's tofu = to harass someone sexually.

    To conclude, wolves not only love herrings. They also love tofu! :o)
    Hence we made "yong tofu" today. Ha ha...
