Somewhere Over The Rainbow

I usually like to capture things candidly and without much preparation, and when you get the perfect shot at one go (or sometimes after multiple trials racing against your patience), that satisfaction is most precious.

But this one needed some minor settings here and there (if you call placing tissues around it a set-up) and since I didn't have a camera handy at that moment, I used my phone camera. I don't like to edit or touch up my photos that much, so this is pretty much how it was in reality. The flames just mesmerized me.
