Fire pits alight at WinterFest: LAPC

Last weekend we visited the Oregon WinterFest event in Bend. I always look forward to seeing the fire pits and there were over 20 entries this year.

The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge (LAPC) this week is Treasure Hunt. I thought the fire pits fit perfectly under the suggested topic of “something hot.” Here are a few of the sculptures I saw at the WinterFest event.

A scaly tree holding a suspended ball of fire

This one looked like kindling hovering over a fire

Tall and graceful, reaching for the sky

This triangular one had flames that pulsed to the music

A salmon leaping above the flames

Cattails swaying in the breeze

A cyclone of spinning metal

The reflective discs spun with the slightest breeze so this one was always in motion

This one reminds me of the space needle in Seattle

Mountains and their wildlife in a lovely panoramic display

See my recent That’s some Pig! post for one more of these amazing fire pit sculptures.

I’m impressed by the artists that create these works. The sculptures have to look great and be fully functional as a fire pit. Not an easy task!
