Iranian New Years Eve: Chahar-Shanbeh Soori at West Seattle
Chahar-Shanbeh Soori is the Iranian New Years Eve, and the tradition is to setup rows of fires for people to run and jump over each fire.

It was also difficult capturing so much movement with such low lighting.
Here are some pics from this cold evening on West Seattle:
