Mt Yasur is the worlds most active accessible volcano and when it goes off with a bang (which is frequent) at night the camera captures the flare of the red hot lava as it is thrown high into the sky.

This reminded me of an emergency flare being set off. In reality it is a firework set off over the water going high into the sky. Certainly it was as easily seen as any flare would have been.

There is nothing like a flared skirt for really showing the flare (and the legs) when dancing a jive. I understand flares in pants are on the way back in. For me I don’t know that they ever went out of fashion as I hate to admit it — I still have some.

These two show the camera flare when unwanted light is let in because as Paula pointed out a lens hood isn’t used. Above is in Germany at the Fastnacht parade and below at the Sydney Town Hall.

I’m glad to say I couldn’t find one photo that displayed tempers flaring. Not that it hasn’t happened but at least I haven’t been stupid enough to record it for posterity.

Thanks Paula. I knew I’d want to join in but don’t have that many photos on this computer. It was a great prompt.

Love all your interpretations of “flare.” Politicians regularly display the emotional aspect, though I think their faces are usually just as phony as their words. Photo op – sound bite = votes. Media frenzy – public apathy = lousy candidates often win. Ugh!
Oh, I guess you could say I exhibit “flare” right now.

Thanks Sharon. I guess you have just begun to see politicians strutting their emotions in a big way with the presidential race beginning. Wish I was there to capture your flare.

Great “flares” but that volcanic explosion was the topper!

Well done you ! 🙂
When you DO want to see tempers flaring, pop down to Sydney again and drop by: mine does fairly often, these days, when realizing how much brain-power I’ve lost.
Sighh …

Yes it is a photo of me dancing. If flares come back in then I am set up without having to spend a penny. Yes, take note of that note to self. Want you to stay safe. 🙂
