Abstraction

View Large and Beautiful On Black

 

Fire - the life-giving force of our ancestors. It's been around since the beginning of our planet, and has yet to bore us. Considering how easily we become jaded and bored with activities, fire continues to amaze us.

 

And yet, it makes no sense. Of course, there are scientific processes at play (chemical reactions, release of energy, and the like), but on a simple level, fire just doesn't make sense. You can't touch it, but it can burn you. There is no logical reason for why fire should happen when energy is released (other than following the scientific laws - but where do they come from?).

 

Anyway, fire is cool.

 

 

This shot was taken with a long-exposure, and then brightened a little bit (f-stop a bit too large), and was taken during a fire-poi training at my college. (you light balls on the ends of chains on fire and spin them prettily).
