having fun in the evening

Spinning steel wool is a lot of fun and it also can be just a tad dangerous, as this photo kind of demonstrates. The streaks you see in the photo are sparks that are flying into the air and due to the long exposure effect with the camera it results in the streak lines you see in the picture. People sometimes forget its a hot flying ball of steel that is on FIRE!! In this picture you can see one streak being really close to the camera. Funny story, it actually landed on my arm and then I realized I had several little balls of fire around my feet and more coming at me, as the steel wool continued to spark. Fire safety is a real thing when doing this, as the sparks can land quite a distance and be mindful that small fires can start if you are not paying attention...
