Took this set of pictures over a gasoline powered fireplace. Not only was it odorless but the gentle flame was the perfect match to a cold winter night.

Time for some colour.....

I've noticed lately I'm turning to B&W more and more so thought I'd celebrate the rare sunshine with a bit of colour

Shooting Trip, Louie's Cabin, Frenchville, PA:

ODC - gossamer

Before I could move closer for a better view of the gossamer wings of this flame skimmer, it flew off.

This is a long exposure of a candle flame that had air blown on it.

ok, naff title. Our house doesn't have an open fire; the chimney was blocked up by the previous owners, so Mrs WS and I sit around in the evenings and watch the flickering flames of a small candle instead!

every year in the Easter's Evening people living in the Romanian country region light fires to scare the evil spirits .it's a tradition kept by centuries and passed from generation to generation....it's a belif that wicked spirits of the dead escape as the gates of Heaven are opend during the whole Easter week, and they come to torture the living , they take the fortune of people, and they smugle their faces.In order to avoid this villagers still light the fire ...for the smoke to keep them away.

Staring into a campfire... flames make for a very captivating subject with a life of their own.

Flames And Dynamics

Dancing flame.

Spotted in the parking lot of the Tahoe Biltmore casino. Apparently

the owner saw me shoot this photo from his room at the hotel nearby; I

heard a voice bellow, "that is fuckin' CHOICE, right?!"

I kept walking.
