Halloween Bonfire Photo

Photographer’s Note

Well, it's Halloween again, that very Irish/Celtic festival. In ancient times the bonfire was lit to ward off the evil spirits and help warm the sun. It marked the start of the winter. It is typically celebrated with bonfires, fireworks and autumn fruit.

This is the bonfire burning right outside my apt. I walked over for a few min. A cold night out, but with a nice bonfire and a big crowd, it keeps you warm. The kids are now starting to go around - trick or treat-ing.

Hi Paul,

this is an interesting shot. On the one hand you have the brightness of the fire in the middle shooting sparks into the night sky and then you have the almost ghost like images of the people around the fire, great stuff Paul, good to see a different slant on things.

Regards

Stephen
