The castle is so beautiful in this light and it looks even more impressive with the bonfire (and guarded by two horsemen too!).

Happy Feast Day, Fabrizio!

Happy birthday to your patron saint!
That's a BIG bonfire.

Beautiful fire! Fire is so primitive, it fascinates.

I like the way you framed it with the horses on either side. It looks as if they are reacting to the fire. Nice compostition.
