Spring Light
The spring equinox bonfire ushers in the season in fine style — thanks Alice! Shifty winds kept the flames low from most of the trees, only a few came close to equaling the height of some previous years. Still, you can’t beat curling your toes in warm sand after a long cold winter.
Ariel
Ariel braves the shifting flames of the 2011 equinox bonfire, hooping to the Arythmic’s beats.
Reach
Shifty winds grab the equinox bonfire, making this a more difficult-than-usual evening for the fire performers.
Conflagration III
Spring equinox, and the humans come out to perform their annual rituals on Ward’s Beach. Oddly, the trees had a different burning pattern this year: their thermal columns were much shorter. Compare to this tree at last year’s equinox bonfire (thanks Alice!).
Christmas Nuke
A 180° panorama of a well-aged Christmas tree going up in 30-foot flames during the annual Spring Equinox bonfire on Ward’s Beach. It’s astounding how much potential energy is stored in a small tree after drying out for three months.
Thermonuclear Equinox
A Christmas tree goes nuclear at the annual beach bonfire (thanks Alice!) celebrating the Spring Equinox. There’s a lot of potential energy stored in a Christmas tree, especially after drying out for three months. Don’t try this at home, kids.
