The genie is out of the bottle - a photo on Flickriver

For the last few years we spend an extended weekend at the Black Rock Desert in Nevada to attend Balls, a big experimental rocket launch event. This is from the 2017 event.

At night, people dispose of grains of unusable rocket fuel by trowing them into a camp fire. The grains burn quickly within seconds, and produce a bright light. The color depends on the additives used in the fuel. It's safe, as long as you don't stay downwind and inhale the gases.

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
