Mount Ogiyama No-Yaki - The Fire festival in Kyushu

Taken from the Guardian centre spread...The annual Mount Ogiyama No-Yaki fire festival in Kyushu, southern Japan, which is famed for its hot springs. Residents set alight the side of the mountain to burn off last year’s old grass. It coincides with the springtime Onsen (hot springs) festival. This picture is a composite of more than 300 exposures over 90 minutes, as the line of fire crossed Mount Oyigama
