Night Light – The Glow of a Massive Fire
The light from the fire at the BOPEC facility lights up the surrounding area
I spent a couple of hours out last night taking photos of the blazing inferno of a giant fuel tank burning at the BOPEC (Bonaire Petroleum Corporation) oil transshipment facility at the north end of the island last night. I particularly liked this image because it shows scale and the sheer amount of visual energy the fire produced, reflecting its light off the entire surrounding countryside. Considering I was about three and half miles away from the fire, the size of this thing is staggering.
