It looks a bit horrible to my eyes but very unique use of the shadows. I know this is just a fireworks though... The only 2 colours in the frame and it produces a perfect image here.

An intense image with the figures silhouetted against the raging fire. I appreciate the sharpness of the silhouettes against the soft movement/blur of the flames. My own experience of being near an open flame is that of being transfixed. There is something quite magical about dancing flames, though if one gets too close, it can be uncomfortable. I love the idea of a "Fire of Joy" since fire is so often associated with destruction. Of course, it could be argued that out of destruction something new arises, as in the Phoenix of Egyptian mythology rising from the ashes. And, of course, we've seen photos of the burning ghats in India where the end of life is marked by fire burning the remains, sending the spirit on its way. There may be sadness associated with such loss, but there is also the fact of being part of the rhythm of life with its ending and its beginnings eternally unfolding. Fire surely is magical.

C'est une belle image qui me rappelle les Feux de Joie de la Saint-Jean que nous fêtions dans le Dauphiné de mon enfance [autour du 24 juin].
Et, même si c'est surtout pour le plus grand plaisir des enfants, j'aime encore sentir les yeux qui "piquent" à cause de la fumée, l'odeur et le son du bois qui crépite.
Et en même temps, c'est terrible de penser que c'est aussi/encore le feu qui détruit tant de forêts au Portugal en ce moment.

* Je passe du feu à l'eau... Juste pour vous dire que j'espère que vous n'avez pas trop souffert des pluies torrentielles. La nature se fait rebelle ces derniers temps.
