110320 – The Power of Fire!

Last night of the Fallas de Valencia: “What we witnesed yesterday was amazing. The whole falla is equipped with fireworks and drenched with gasoline. At a time nobody knows, the falla is being ignited. Loud explosions start because of the fireworks, and due to the gasoline the ninot catches fire amazingly quick. The temperature increased in seconds so that we all had to pull back to avoid being burnt”.
