Light my fire

This lady was lighting her pipe with a stick from the fire, while waiting to sell her bilums and shell necklaces at the Japanese Barge Tunnel, on the Rabaul/Kokopo Road last week.

The pipe is made from a seed pod and a stick.

    therese - it didn't really smell from where I was. it wasn't really burning much at that stage.

    ancient one - yes I assume tobacco - it is grown around here.

    The minute I looked at your picture Bob Marley came to my mind, but I think their smoking habits are a bit different... :-)
    The pipe is just great!
    I love those photos!

    Thank you for adding the link to my blog, Jules! :-)

    What a character she is. Great portrait, Jules.

    I laughed at your comment on Menton about hair blowing in the wind!

    That's a cool pipe, Jules!
    And I love her appropriately fire-coloured dress.

    Very interesting pipe. Dainty too. Might actually sell well globally among female urbanites who smoke pipes.

    I know it sounds dumb as in DUH but I wonder what Zippo means to these ladies? It is one of those things everyone needed at one time but now I never see one. Of course I seldom, if ever, see anyone smoking anything. I do see some mothers and fathers with kids in stores and smoke is pouring out of the father's ears.

    I published a post about squirrels and other animals and some of the problems they have. I hope you can take the time to read it. That animals suffer and we do not seem to notice seems so sad. Look at my Dances on Sunshine

    goto now.
    A summer love is beautiful
    But it's not enough
    To satisfy emotions
    That are shared between us
    A winter love is cozy
    But I need so much more
    It just intensifies my wants
    To have a love that endures
