First HPF pic
Jun. 1st, 2005 12:53 pmShaggy took this while the "waterfalls" were going off. Too dark to see what people are wearing, so it's safe for work.
You can just see part of the rangoli, above the heads along the left side of the picture.
I neglected to mention in the previous HPF entry that this fire scared the poi dancers, and Ashe is very proud of that fact. For those who don't know, poi dancers swing purning bits of stuff around on chains in decorative patterns. They like fire. A lot. They like being close to fire ordinarily. This one was so hot that people couldn't be in the sand-filled dancing circle for hours after it was lit, and that ring is 54' in diameter now.
