English: Edinburgh Hogmanay – The bull, well engulfed in flames. It had a steel frame to it, and the head tilted down onto the back of the beast (we were a little worried initially that it would come rolling downhill). Photography was hampered by the fact that I was in a huge crowd (~15,000 torches were sold for the procession) who were alternately stamping their feet to keep warm and jostling forward for a better position on the grassy/muddy hillside. Not good conditions for hand-held long exposures. The object in the lower left is the guy next to me's shoulder, unfortunately. A tighter crop up at 100798178.
