Having secured a certain reputation for associating with pyrotechnical mayhem, it's surely appropriate that I should record this water fountain, that, as I regarded it, burst into flames.
A fire fountain at Houghton Hall – and sunset from Hunstanton (pronounced Hunston, naturally) beach tonight.
Below, how the fire fountain is really started. I do not know the physics of how this actually works. I'll guess that a fine film of burning oil carries the flame up the water spout. The fountain smelled oily, probably a bit like the contemporary Gulf of Mexico.
No Longer The Only One 
Love the sunset pic–the sun is almost shaped like a sleepy eye half closed!!
Thanks, Jenny – yes, it definitely gave the impression of an eye opening just at the last minute!
The sun's reflection on the waves made the waves appear to be on fire, too. Really a very good photo, Richard.Cool fountain.:up:
A pretty impressive fountain — water and fire. Water and earth — a mud fountain? Probably not as lovely.
Thanks, Carol! 🙂
You are welcome Richard. May I use the sunset as Wallpaper?
Love the sunset photo, very beautiful.
You may indeed, Carol – my pleasure! 🙂
Thank you so very much.
