A boy, a girl, a Soviet-era industrial accident site…
Two drifters, a dream, and a 70 meter diameter hole in the ground, leaking flaming natural gas for the past five decades…
What better place for a man to get down on one knee and ask the love of his life to marry him?
Ladies and Gentlemen, Lucy & James have got engaged.
Dance me to the end...- Darvaza by day. The problem with gas flares is that they don’t show up in daylight … not!
- OK, so who forgot the marshmallows?
- Any burning questions on your mind?
- James considers taking the plunge
- Just the two of us. No-one else in sight. The perfect moment
- Sunset by the industrial accident – who says romance is dead?
- James and Lucy spend a happy evening keeping warm by the fire
- One of my new favourite photographs – Lucy contemplates her future, and the fires of HELL
- The happy couple at breakfast in camp the morning after (when we’re married we won’t have to sleep on any more floors, right?)
