Something Sinister

Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge for March 6 is "SOMETHING SINISTER"

To see other people participating click here: http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=36545

This is a polespear. Used to spear fish. I perfer to take pictures of fish rather then spear them.
I placed the polespear through a box and shut the lights off. I "painted" the point and shaft with a divers underwater flashlight to give the effect of it piercing out of the darkness.
What I did not expect was that the blue spear looks like a flame.

Hope you like it.
