Interesting Photo of the Day: Tower of Pallets Bonfire

Many good photographs owe a lot of their greatness to their photographers being in the right place at the right time.

The bonfire was a part of an annual mid-summer Scandinavian tradition called Sankthans. Good to see the photographer played it smart and kept a safe distance from the monumental bonfire.
