controlled burning

this falls into the category of... "oh, that's how they do that".........

 

was driving down US route 1 (you know the one that goes from maine all the way down to florida), when i caught sight of a flame in my peripheral vision. always intensely curious about things i've never seen before, i turned around at gillette stadium and went back. this is in the parking lot of a nice restaurant and this is how they get rid of the pesky grass that grows up in the cracks of the parking lot pavement--

a flame thrower. it is a wand with a flexible hose, attached to a propane tank, i think.

 

it reminds me of coming up over a hill in kansas after dark and seeing the horizon lit with a line of fire because they were burning off the wheat stubble after the harvest.

slider sunday....... the original was not quite so dramatic (see below)

i tweaked it by pumping up the contrasts and, since this was a case where negative space didn't really serve to underline the action, i cropped it :)
