This 20m (66 ft) high illuminated metal torch sits atop the 150m tall Tower of Juche Idea. Weighing in at 45 tons, it's no lightweight, but has the strength of the granite spire below it to sit on. Elevator to the top was 5€ when I visited, and well worth it for the incredible views of Pyongyang.
Juche, or "self-reliance" is the official political ideology of North Korea first introduced by the now Eternal President of North Korea, Kim Il-sung. As the tower sits along the banks of the river Taedong, opposite of Kim Il-sung square, it provides an easily viewable illumination from the square and other major tourist sites in Pyongyang.

The Torch of Friendship is a monument located on Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami, Florida, United States, at the northwest corner of Bayfront Park.
Built in 1960, The Torch of Friendship was built to signify the passageway for immigrants coming from Latin America and the Caribbean. The gas fed flame was meant to act as a welcoming beacon for all new and old immigrants to the nation. In 1964 it was re-dedicated to the memory of the American president John F. Kennedy
It consists of a pillar, covered with stone plates and topped by a burning torch. It holds a plate with the Great Seal of the United States at the front. Underneath a plate holds a caption in which the city of Miami dedicates this monument to the friendship between the USA and the Latin American countries. It also has the year of construction, 1960.

The Olympic Torch has been running all across Canada from coast to coast to coast! I caught up with it at Airdrie Alberta. The crowd has been pumped with pride in Canada and the Olympics to come!

Have a wonderful weekend.
heat patinas on metallic glazes heated with a soldering torch...
The colours have lasted for several years now, so I think the effect isn't too transitory.

Flaming or summer torch, Billbergia pyramidalis, is a bromeliad native to Brazil. The common names for this plant come from its torch-shaped, showy, red flower spike, which consists of many small flowers surrounded by red bracts.
Some summer evenings we would wait until dusk on the valley floor with our torches to see what creatures would emerge. There were hundreds of bats flying about over our heads, and always a fox, and a heron would usually fly low towards the ponds making its loud, raucous call as it glided just above the small trees.
On the morning of Wednesday 23rd May 2012 the Olympic torch relay came to Nailsea in North Somerset.
The UK phase of the relay had started four days earlier at Land's End and would finish on Friday 27th July at the opening ceremony in the Olympic Stadium. In that time the flame covered approximately 8,000 miles and was carried by about 8,000 torch bearers on a route that criss-crossed the nation, and even took in Dublin, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, all of which lie outside the UK.
For me, London 2012 was a source of immense pride in what a country could achieve when it put its collective mind to staging the world's most important celebration of sport. I remember enjoying a powerful sense of well-being at this time and felt optimistic about the future. What a difference a decade can make.

Following running repairs in the workshops at Rheine depot, oil-fired Class '043' 2-10-0 No.043 381-3 is lit up and its burners are in operation in order to bring up steam pressure, ready for it to work out its last days in DB service. Despite its poor external appearance here on 3rd September 1977, the 1941-built 'Jumbo' was not only to work until the end of steam on the Emsland line at the end of October 1977, but also survived the cutter's torch, and is today on display at the Bavarian Railway Museum in Nördlingen as 44 381.

Do you guys think that the strobe in the frame was fired?? The answer is NO..:P. This is my first try at "LIGHT PAINTING". I used a torch to light up, the strobe panel to give it the strobe burst effect, and the name on the strobe. I wanted to try light painting today so I borrowed my dad's LED torch, thought about an idea and ended up with this shot. Dont ask me about the idea of using the Bokeh as the BG, the first thing that came in my mind with light painting is to use bokeh!!!...:P. I am really obsessed with bokeh, they are simply awesome. Hope you guys like it.

sb600--- Not fired..:P..lol
Nippon LED Torch, mounted with DIY black paper snoot to narrow the path of light, camera left. Moved the torch up and down from the top of the strobe till the brand name on the strobe VERY QUICKLY( would rather say INSTANTLY..:P) while the shutter was open!..:)
The logic behind the bright reflection on the strobe panel is the "INBUILT WIDE ANGLE DIFFUSER" which was slid out. The wide angle diffuser also acts as a good reflector when it is lit from front, hence used the torch to light it up and it gave this bright light source effect seen in the pic..:)
Bokeh done with DIY Bokeh wall..

Didnt get a chance to put a description on this shot during the week. Apologies!
This shot was taken using Helen's (check out her stream!) instructions from the latest edition of Digital SLR Photography Magazine.
What I used:
- Background was a sheet of black cardboard
- Base was also a sheet of black cardboard, but with a sheet of glass over it
- Light trails were made using a cheap LED torch (with 7 bulbs) I bought at Maplin's
- Subject is a martini glass filled with water
I used my 12-24mm lens set to 17mm, at F22. The exposure was 15 seconds. I also set the WB to Tungsten to bring out the blue as the LED light was white.
"Light Week" continues--a celebration of actually having sunshine and its effects to play with after all those months of clouds, misty rain, and flat even light...
