A long exposure of the embers going up into the sky.

Ted and Bill stayed up late keeping an eye on the fire as it burned down to nothing.  With all of the dead leaves around they didn't want to take any chances with it.  In the early morning hours after it was just a big pile of hot ashes they dumped all the water on it.  The only thing left of the massive piles of wood and buckthorn was a big pile of muddy ash.
