On the left, we have IC 405, also know as the Flaming Star Nebula. It is an emission and reflection nebula in the constellation Auriga. The red glow is from the Hydrogen alpha emissions and the fant blue is the reflection from the blue star AE Aurigae.

On the right, is IC 410 which includes a pair of gas and dust structures called the Tadpoles. You can barely make them out from this wide field view. This is an area I want to shoot again when I get more focal length.

Flaming Lips

One of the appetizers is Flaming Saganaki, cheese flamed with 151 Rum at the table. I've never had it but it looks pretty spectacular. I usually order the hummus and pita bread.

Having doused the pud in unlit brandy, Ewan created quite a conflagration at his second attempt

This was just before he started spinning flaming poi between the coils. I seriously lost it at that point.

EXPLORE #9

A change from the normal. Was mucking about with a light - took a random picture - and this appeared. Looks like a pirate skull complete with flaming eye patch. Weird or what. Or then again maybe its just a patch light.

Very cool. I wonder what else he does with this?

The event started in a schoolyard. You could go out from here to the alleys.

It was snowing like a sun of a gun. It got worse before it got better.
