Fly, my phoenix

Me, my boyfriend and some friends were out shooting some pictures one dark evening. My boyfriend had learn this trick from his father: you pick some sort of powder or seeds from a certain "plant" out in the forest. Then you put some of the powder in your hand and a lighted match between your finger with the fire burning over the powder. Then you simply throw the poder up in the air, throug the flame, and you get the effect in the picture above. Quite cool, isn't it? We took a lot of pictures of the cool fireballs, so I might be uploading some more.

I think the flames looks like a bird in this pic, kind of like a phoenix, that's why I named it that way.
