Obsolete?

We might think of kerosene lanterns as obsolete in the industrialized world but there are millions of them still in use in the undeveloped world.  Regardless, they still make a great photography prop.  I got mine a decade ago and have used it over and over, whenever I wanted a warm light in a cool picture. 

Say what you will about modern lights, humans spent around a million years evolving with fire as light and nothing can match its emotional appeal.  Rain and fog shut out the sunrise on Monte Sano this morning so I pulled out the lantern for my #FlickrFriday shot.
