I remember my mother talking about these from her childhood -- in Schleswig-Holstein! There's another fire ceremony too, (I think in the middle of summer (??)
This capture is quite superb! Scary (only a little) and exciting!
Great capture under difficult conditions too

Scary indeed! Framing is excellent, compliments the fire on the silhoutted subject. Nicely done!
It must have been freezing out there that's why she wanted to thaw some ice out. lol!tfs.

Only Mr. GreenBaron could produce an outstanding image such as this:)
What I like here is the catching of the fater blaze and smoke & splinters with right shutter speed. That will be hard for me, but you have done so well on it. (1/40th).
I am also impressed that you seem to know so mant TL members personally:)
Thanks for the notes as well, Hans!

Hi Hans,

Sounds a bit like what happens here on November 5th... Some very large bonfires lit then, with some very odd things burned!

This is a perfect capture of the fire. It can't have been easy to get this with so many people around. The silhouette is very effective.

I went to a performance of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring a few days ago, and this image conjours up memories of the sounds of that work, bringing pagan ritual to life.

A great shot, thank you!

Hi Hans:
I found this rather remarkable & at the same time VERY creepy! Am I the only one who sees the ghostly, firey image of a man with short dark hair, wearing a suit & tie right at the apex of the flames? It looks like he is made of fire, his head, shoulders, collar & tie are quite obvious, even his ear, eyes, nose & mouth are visible; I can even make out the top button on his suit! And I don't mean the person in silhouette. I don't know, but it certainly looks like you've captured a lot more than you thought you did with this photo. This really does look like a firey ghost photo to me more than anything else. VERY interesting, maybe it's a trick of the light, maybe it's something else; but it's definately weird. Regards, Erik.

Hi Hans,
I like the Tukker Dance and the photo. I can almost feel the heat again. We had a good time, yesterday evening.
You can see some more of the hundreds of 'Tukkers' here

Hi Hans,
Great image, I did wonder if it was you doing some kind of ritual dance around the fire! LOL
Well done to capture Janneke's silhouette, that would not have been easy! Great you had a good time! TFS
Cheers Tina :-)

Strong and a dramatic nocturnal composition. Silhouette of a human (Janneke) is looking interesting. Warm tones of blazzon is an excellent capture. Well done my friend.

Thanks for sharing this image.

No... It's not scary... Not at all...
The funny thing is that just yesterday night i imagined it would be good at this moment to be lost in the middle of a large forest with a big camp fire :)
So i see it...
The size satisfy me... Thank You!
I'm sure the silhouettes have fun!
