Torch-Lit Hilltop Beltane Festival Under Deep Night Sky in at a public square during a festival near Gold Coast

Torch-Lit Hilltop Beltane Festival Under Deep Night Sky

by Mariah Johns

Heavy overcast clouds press low against the midsummer sky, turning the night into a deep, uniform charcoal. A crowd gathers on a public square near the Gold Coast, their faces illuminated only by the fierce orange glow of torches held aloft. The flames cast sharp, dancing rim light along the edges of the participants, separating them from the heavy shadows that swallow the rest of the square. In the foreground, a dark archway creates a frame within a frame, focusing attention on the determined expressions of the torchbearers. The smoke from the fires drifts slowly through the humid air, blurring the distant outlines of the crowd. At the very edge of the arch, a single flame flickers against the wet, dark stone.
