That should be volcano.

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought is it a volcone rim or lave flow.
Then I thought, is it some mad looking northern lights.
Then I guessed right, yeah right!!! I like it Jim.

Who would have guessed. I thought that Michael's
interpretation was pretty good.

Never would have guessed, Jim. The image reminded me of some of the
amazing Hubble Telescope outer space images. Fun!

Thanks for your guesses!
What is it???

Its actually a homemade miniture hot air balloon. I was at the beach after sunset and saw a man light this latern like thing. After a couple of minutes he carried it to the water's edge and let it go in the air. Then I realized what it was. I just opened the shutter and tracked it upward for about 30 seconds and got this very unusual light trail as it spiraled toward the sky.
