Bonfire day

First bonfire of the season. I love bonfires and always take lots of photos, though they always look just the same as all the previous ones. I especially love it if the sun comes out and the wind is blowing the right way and if I put a load of wet oak leaves on to get it smokey, I get this effect. I know I've taken very similar shots before, but I can't help myself.

I have turned comments back on. I'm interested in anybody's opinions on washing machines. Manufacturers you would recommend or not?
