When Snails Smoke in Bed

The danger of smoking in bed for a snail - but fortunately Brian had smoke and heat detectors installed, so was able to crawl out in plenty of time. He was also extremely pleased to have insurance and already has his replacement home from the shell dealership.

 

For Macro Mondays theme 'Radiant'. The empty snail shell was filled with bits of dead leaves and then some combustible fire gel was added. The gel provides the blue colour in the flame and the burning of the organic matter gave the orange colours.

 

A little macabre perhaps, but Hallowe'en is coming soon...

 

No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
