Maya Dance of Fire
Maya Dance of Fire

Shot during a Maya ritual called the Dance of Fire, which was part of a show on Mayan culture and history. It was performed for spectators at our hotel on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. In this part of the show the participants would hold their hands and feet over the flames for extended periods of time and would pick up and pass along lumps of coal that were still ablaze! Amazing! ISO 2000 on Nikon D300.
