30th October 2005 slightly warmer than he's used to

The start of winter,
the weather gods worked their magic
clouds and rain cleared,
and the wind dropped away.

Nikon D50
1/30s f/5.6 at 34.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Ah, nothing like a ritualistic bonfire upon the scottish moors...

Nice.. i really wish i had managed to get out to see this... The weather was so bad before hand, we went to the pictures, came out and it had cleared up...
James Ross04-Nov-2005 22:00
Must have been a great sight!

This is a similar tradition, I presume, to our Christmas Eve bonfires on the Mississippi River levee.
Johnny JAG31-Oct-2005 20:15
Impressive.
Jackdad31-Oct-2005 20:06

Great image
Dominic Kite30-Oct-2005 22:47
He's celebrating now with his burny little torch aloft, but won't be smiling so much when he's been hit with an ASBO. Probably drunk, no respect youths these days.... ;-)
Gail Davison30-Oct-2005 22:44

Hahaha, That is funny Stewart.

Excellent image and series.

So let me understand this, they spend all week building a pretty impressive sculpture and then burn it? Glad you captured the finished result so well!
