Repeating myself (ad nauseum), I maintain that I didn’t start this picture with any idea of a considered objective. The image started (in the sky) with the flagstones and the semi-circular metal (copper?) runner for a set of gates (no longer there) at St. John’s RC Cathedral in Norwich. In the foreground is a water feature, with steps running down, which is part of the Ceremonial Pool, on the Great Verandah at the entrance to the Australian Parliment building. The fire in the top of an oil barrel came next, probably from a firework party. The remains of a bonfire was from a camping trip in North Norfolk (I had to photograph it – as you do). I added the people (from another source) and the ‘stars’ to complete and realise a narrative – unwittingly…..well..after introducing the bonfire remains, as an experiment, the picture developed a theme. I was more interested in the curves and the composition.
