Indian woodpile

Along the roadside people have arranged cow dung in a round, organized fashion. There are areas where it's all laid out flat, drying in the sun. It's actually a highly renewable fuel source. The cows eat grass which makes their dung dense enough to burn for cooking. It made me think of my dad. Not that he burns cow dung, but if you know him...he spends most of the year collecting, cutting, and stacking firewood. My house is surrounded by woodpiles and my parents burn wood as their primary heat source. So, this is the Indian version of a woodpile. I saw some women collecting them, shaping them...that was intense for me. Imagining working with smelly dung to make possible future meals. It's very clever way to store fuel....I imagine that smell stays with you for awhile...
