href=\"http:\/\/www.brushwood.com\/summerfest.html\" target=\"_blank\">SummerFest<\/a>, the new festival of the creative spirit at the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brushwood_Folklore_Center\" target=\"_blank\">Brushwood Folklore Center <\/a>in Sherman, New York.\u00a0 For many years, Brushwood has hosted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brushwood.com\/sirius.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sirius Rising<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rosencomet.com\/starwood\/\" target=\"_blank\">Starwood<\/a> (now moved to Wisteria in Ohio), and other festivals, and it&#8217;s become fertile ground for a community of artists and musicians, pagans and faeries, free spirits and freedom seekers.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been going out there since 1999, and it is one of my essential places.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve previously posted some of my body art from Brushwood <a href=\"http:\/\/fredhatt.com\/blog\/2009\/04\/09\/dorsal-emblems\/\"

target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The night life at Brushwood revolves around fires.\u00a0 Every night there are several small fires with drum circles, didgeridoos, trance music, rituals or dancing.\u00a0 The final night of every festival features a huge bonfire like the one pictured at the top of this post.\u00a0 The fire shown below was the scene of quiet drumming with complex middle eastern rhythms.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1679\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

flames.\u00a0 Fire is a difficult subject for photography, as its essence is in its movement.\u00a0 A long exposure blurs the flame into smooth streaks of light.\u00a0 A short exposure captures some of the remarkable fleeting shapes that appear in the flames, but often makes the fire seem smaller than it appears to the eye.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1680\" style=\"width: 610px\"
