Bonfire, Bangor
Image: © Rossographer Taken: 11 Jul 2019
Traditional loyalist '11th night' bonfire at the Kilcooley Estate in Bangor. In recent years bonfires have grown ever bigger with competitions between rival groups to see who can make the biggest; this one looked around 10 metres high and there are teenagers near the top adding the finishing touches. The two catering vans are temporary and will cater for the huge crowds coming to watch it burn a few hours after this was taken.
