Yep - a giant bonfire on a nearby beach..

With the added interest of eyes being spotted in the water behind the dinghy when we were ready to leave...

A great capture of it too!

looks warm - we have a fire ban here in Ontario, Canada :(

Love the ring around the fire too

Eyes in the water behind the dingy? Oh my- is that crocodiles or something like that? Scary! But not the bonfire- that's pretty neat.

Great capture but the eyes sound pretty terrifying

Good focus with just firelight! I would be nervous with the eyes too!

The capture of the fire is beautiful. Did you ever find out what the eyes beyond the dinghy were?

Love the fire, but the eyes sound awfully disturbing.

This looks like a monster awakening from the flames. Maybe that’s what attracted those eyes.

Ooo, scary!

Beautiful shot. Quite a big bonfire there. And passers-by seem to be enjoying it. I would if I were there.

A bright capture

@onewing Hi Babs - that was impressive! They dug a deep ring, with a short trail leading away from it- walked around and filled it with petrol - and that huge fire was alight in one almighty bang!!

@pdulis I can see why - you seem to have more than your share of bushfires. This was pretty secure with a large distance between the fire and the scrub, and not very much wind. :)

Hi all - thanks for your interest in the eyes! We did indeed find out what they were - and it gave our skipper a bit of a jolt! He was a long time organizing for us to leave the island. When he called us down we found he had maneuvered the tender right up against a rocky outcrop and pulled the dinghy right up beside it on the other side. We only had to wade out through water about 40cm deep - sort of protected on each side. When we got onto the tender Errol aimed his torch down into the water beside us - in time to see the body of a large croc swim under the tender!!
Apparently the skipper's not going to use that beach any more for the bonfires - crocs have very good memories!

@robz Oh my goodness- and to think you were all walking near it!!
