Old Outdoor Fireplace

There is a large vacant lot about a mile from my house that I pass frequently.  One day last week I noticed a block wall on one side of the lot that had some deteriorating stucco over red brick with a beautiful patch of bougainvillea cascading over the top of it so I made an appointment with myself to go back early some morning to check it out further because I've become fascinated with old brick and old stucco.  I made sure to leave my sandals at home and wear good shoes because the ground was covered with lots of dead brown  grass, and who knows what lurks in such stuff.  While checking out the wall I happened to notice in the far back corner of the lot along the wall that separates the property from the adjacent owner this old outdoor fireplace.  It has a brick hearth, a flagstone and brick patio, the red brick bench, a wood cabinet and even the remnants of burned wood in the fireplace.  There obviously once was a home here (I've been in the area 30 years and I don't remember a house in this spot) and this is all that remains.  I love how the early morning sunlight pokes its head through the vines and the trees to splash in dappled masses on the patio.  Maybe tomorrow I'll show you the wall which originally drew me to find this treasure of a spot.
