Bonfire night - 23 June 2010

Well I looked out my window the other evening and saw a fire. I was going to phone the fire brigade because I was convinced a house was on fire, until I noticed another fire nearby and then another and then another and another. I then remembered someone talking about a tradition in Cork on 23 of June every year - bonfire night.

It happens on St John's eve and these days it seems to be an excuse to light a fire where normally you can't. I saw people putting unwanted furniture on some fires. The next day you could see the remains of these fires and it wasn't a pretty sight.
