Last year's tree was successfully consumed by flames in less than three minutes. For reals. I have pictures to prove it.

| The anticipation was unbearable. |
 |
| Fireworks were added to the bottom... |
 |
| And then it's off! |
 |
| And the fire shoots into the sky. |
 |
| Hopefully none of those helicopters that have been flying overhead all evening will notice. |
 |
| Hopefully the power lines overhead don't melt. |
 |
| Hopefully the figure in the fire doesn't decide to come out and burn us all. |
 |
| Hopefully I am not crazy for thinking this is amazingly beautiful. |
 |
| Hopefully the sparks don't catch the house, neighbors' house, etc, on fire. |
 | |
| In an astonishing short time, it dies out. |
 |
| And like that, it's gone. |
Also, for the record, my hair smells like a forest fire today.

So did you risk arrest for such fun?

There is something about celebrating solstice that feels good for the soul. Glad you did! I attended a less flashy celebration, but it grounding nonetheless. :)
LTD: I am not certain about the legalities of burning a really really dry tree in someone's backyard inside Denver city limits, and I don't want to know. Ignorance seems the best defense. Very fun, though. :)
MJ: Glad you noted the solstice. It can only get brighter from here!
