The neighbours in the building across the street have replaced the parquet floor on their roof garden with fresh new wood paneling. As a result, they've had to find a way to rid themselves of the old wood. Their solution? Burn it all. For a few nights in a row now, they've filled a barrel with the discarded parquet and burnt it. They've filled the night air with the sweet scent of forest and charcoal, a tribute to summer campfires and BBQs.

The photo above is very primitive, but one can make out the wood ablaze in the barrel, the neighbour responsible for the charred wood, and the plants in the glow of the green lights of the roof garden. I suspect their summer roof parties will commence very soon.
