These are more common than you might think when watching live cannon and musket fire at a reenactment.

Nice. Any "oldtime " musicians? They are just as fastidious about period as the troops.

Texcaster, this particular troop travels with a full complement of musicians (drum and fife - most people mistake the red coats for British troops). Not often seen, this was a Continental bayonet charge.

Also frequently seen in volcanic eruptions.

Never quite saw one from a volcano, but I'd bet they're equally as fascinating.

Good catch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luckily, Jim, smoke rings move fairly slowly through the air, so they're not hard to capture. The trick is having enough resolution and color difference for it to show up.

Thanks Jerry. These sights have been around for hundreds of years, but you have to be in the right place to see them.
