Fire Breating

gotitas de combustible

Pyros breathed a great blast of flame directly into the face of the ancient red
dragon. He watched in satisfaction as the head withered, the eyes melted.
But Matafleur ignored the flames that seared her eyes, forever ending her
vision, and flew straight at Pyros.
- Dragons of Autumn Twilight

In my childhood I have read a lot of novels on Dragons. Saturday, when Fabiana and I were walking in Preston Park during the Brighton Pride, we saw this man who was breathing fire, like one of those mythological creatures.
He was in the middle of a perfect lawn, with his pointy hair and his flammable breath.
I took some time to take some photos of him, even if I can now say that I did not take enough photos.

I have to admit that I did not manage to take good photos of the parade itself, but at least some of the photos in the park were good!
