With age comes cowardice

Usually I want to be closer to the action than people will let me go, but I must admit that on this occasion I took another couple of steps back. And I'm glad I did! Still closer than the safety people though. This was very warm…

Mind you I think it was warmer for this guy…

And this photo, from another stunt, could have been a spectacular shot of a guy on fire. But where he's lying in the photo is exactly where I was standing a second earlier, so you can imagine why I moved back.

Another superb Tain Gala! The organisers surpass themselves every year. They even arranged good weather for today. I'll post some of the 'proper' photos once the paper's had chance to use them, or not.
