On the evening of Easter Sunday, as in much more places, "Paasvuren" (=Easterfires) are lit traditionally in the eastern part of the Netherlands, Twente.
For information in dutch: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paasvuur
It is supposed to be a very old tradition going back to pre-christian times.
This particular one is lit in the "backyard" of my parents in law...
I didn't bring my tripod, so had to kneel down and took quite a few pictures of the fire surrounded by people from the neighborhood. This picture also shows the planet Venus as a bright evening star in the centre of the frame.
I didn't enhance the picture in any way, nor cropped it. Just wanted to show it and see what you think of it...
