Pretty original pick. You look somewhat small (may be you could post a bigger version), but i like it.

I'd like to see this larger but, it's pretty cool!

you take a piece of steel wool, put it on the end of a rope with some kinda hook and light it up.

remember doing that as a kid.
and a great idea for a pic IMO

Just steel wool by itself?

unless something changed...yes
also smart to wear something like a jean jacket so you dont catch on fire by accident

take a 9V battery and touch the contacts to the wool. It needs to be a really, really fine grade of steel wool or it won't ignite. I swing it on a cable!

Bigger - this was a 16s exposure, don't know how i stayed as still as i did!!

Ah, thanks for sharing the secret...

Looks just great in the larger size...!

So can't just use a lighter?
