Description
I still have an open fire in my living room, burning logs.
I retain my lifelong fascination with flames and their beauty.
Sadly I dare not have bonfires any more: the censure of one of the nosey folk in the flats across the road is vitriolic. We had a bonfire party on VJ day 50 years on and he came storming out screaming that he would call the police! I bet they would have been pleased.

title fits imo
Fantastic capture! Darn nosey neighbors!
Love an open fire, I used to see things in the flames, I see the dancer. Not a good neighbour then!!!!
This looks very special and one is stimulated to use ones fantasy by looking at it. It's indeed very interesting to watch the open flames . A bit spooky, but as you said also fascinating, huh?
Lovely and fitting title! Shame on your neighbour!!
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
Superb capture
Evocative flames - a shame you have a killjoy next door...
Brilliant, I remember your log fire. That miserable turd. should have invited him then put him on the bonfire, some people are just miserable S88T bags aren't they?
There is nothing better that a roaring, crackling, fire to sit beside.
Awesome pov of these interesting and fascinating flames. Perfect timing and perfect title Andrea. Shame on your killjoy neighbor !
Killjoy neighbors: the only thing for them is a bonfire...and barbecue sauce; it sounds like he's already well-marinated, and I hear vitriol tenderizes the flesh, and you can cut the taste of it with a dash of Worcestershire. Just make sure to poke him: when he slides off the fork, he's done. Anyway...enough plotting... I love your dancer: an immortal dancer now, since no flame ever dances more than once. This is gorgeous, even in stillness, it's hypnotic.
Awesome capture!
Superb flame capture, which is harder than one might think!
the only issue with burning the old sod is the resultant smell....and then you'd have the neighborhood association complaining about the odour and we just can't have that now can we... I see the dancer quite easily. I love watching the flames as well
A delightful capture Andrea and I was in London for the 50th celebration of VE Day.
I was going to ask where the other reindeer were but this is mesmerizing. Beautiful capture. As for your neighbor, are bonfires illegal? If not, tell him to push off. And be sure to invite everyone to your next one except him.
Flames are so fascinating you can see all sorts of things in them,and as for your neighbour he would really freak out if he saw one of my bonfires I have a bit of a reputation for big.
I'm with Chipka - toast his ass!! Alternatively, a chimenea is nice & controlled. I burn my junk-mail in mine with a few twigs, and frazzle some smoky bacon in a barbecue thingummy while I'm at it. Washed down with a glass of something blonde & Czechoslovakian - though I'm guessing French and dark would be more your scene :)
OH Yes, this looks very beautiful :)
