Whoops - I just re-read the notes for this particular challenge. It was late last night when I was shooting and posting so I glazed over the "No Photoshop" part for this challenge. I had originally posted an image that was stacked for dynamic range. The image you are seeing here is a single exposure - the "No Photoshop" version with just a tweak of the levels for contrast. Guess I'm not off to a great start... Go ahead and whip me. :whip

Story below
I was born and grown in the country that does not exist anymore: USSR, Soviet Union, "sovetskij soyuz". The dwelling problem was always one of the direst. You were lucky to have an appartment, let alone 3 room one. And when I'm saying 3 room, I'm saying "3 room", not 3 bedroom (plus family, plus dining, plus an office, etc.). Total footage 380 sq ft total, 3 small rooms, tiny kitchen, 1 split bathroom (toilet separate, sink and bath separate), family of 4. And boy, we were lucky...
One of the typical "when/if we get a better life" family discussions almost always included "a fireplace dream". We imagined how nice would it be to have a fireplace to sit by..
We never got one.. In USSR, I mean. It was next to impossible.
It all changed for me, though, when I moved to USA. My very first appartment already featured a fireplace (I requested it online before move, now how cool was THAT?). Now I live in a beautiful 2-story 2300 sq ft 3 bedroom house which has not one, but TWO fireplaces - one in a big room (shown), one in a family room.
What can I say - "seek, and thou shalt find"!
Cheers to the dreams come true!

Unfortunately, I ended up being away from home for over half of this challenge, so I didn't get to improve on this one as I had hoped. In the spirit of keeping the challenges full though, here's my submission:
