Fire in the hole!

Posted by @ 9:32 pm on Thursday 10th November, 2011.

Saturday night's bonfire party here was the best yet. Over 40 guests, one magnificent "Bob" (one of Guy's relations, according to his makers), hundreds of fireworks, lashings of food and drink, and enough wood to keep the fire blazing well into the small hours and smouldering for a couple of days after. This time I had a few breaks from ignition-duties and managed to wield the camera a bit:

 

Bob and his Minders.

Tarp-tent.

Combustibles.

Bob's throne and dais.

The guests start to arrive.

The incineration begins.

Ablaze.

Swirls.

Shaky yet colourful guests.

Sparkly things.

Sparks and flames.

Purple and blue.

Red and green.

Red and gold.

Red, white and blue.

White and gold.

You give them food, drink, shelter, seats, warmth and entertainment, and this is how they repay you.

Who wants to be a Fireman when he grows up?

 

Aglow.

    That all looked a bit too close to the star-gazing machine!

    Very well done, Sir!
