THE WICKER BOY

I love Winter Solstice. Something about pagan rituals, skin peeling bonfires and mulled wine really does it for me. This was taken in 2009 at Collingwood Children's Farm; not that it looks very kid friendly. I've always wondered this child's expression: joy, awe, or sheer terror? Mine was a combination of all three, with cheeks reddened by fire and warm Shiraz.
