This is the first of two, maybe three shots from tonight's Heat the Streets event in Blackpool. Libby and I took the kids down to see the various displays, which were all the more impressive as a) they were outdoors, and b) the temperature was around 1°C – i.e. not the sort of weather to be performing with hardly any clothes on. Though, that said, the woman in tonight's shot is practically fully clothed in comparison to one of the others I'm going to put up ;-)

I seem to be having trouble viewing the image, but I can see the thumbnail via comments just fine. Very cool shot. :P

Jenny: there was a problem with one of the images I uploaded - it's fixed now.

Great photo - absolutely full of life - and I love the flames too.

Wow, that is a fantastic shot. I love her expression and body language. I can sense both the cold and the heat--fire and ice as it were. Terrific shot!

love the detail of the flames (esp. the one on the right side. almost has a face in it). hard to think she is in the streets though, even though the solid black background really makes her pop.

HAHA I can't post what I'm thinking just a nice cover up.

Thanks all.

Blackpool atracts some crazy folk! It's a great shot - though I wish you had Photoshopped some larger smalls on him ;-) It's like a scene from a very weird dream!

Ooops that should have been posted on 'great balls of fire' - I messed up!

Wow, this is one of my favourite images of yours, David. I just love everything about it! Taken out of context it's even more arresting. Great job!

Hope all's well! :)
