Is it someone waving a sparkler about (on a long exposure?)

Jake spoke on Monday 04^th of October 2004 at 09:41 PM, saying:

No. Good guess though. You're on the wrong scale! The whole thing is about 2" across.

Tintil spoke on Tuesday 05^th of October 2004 at 09:32 PM, saying:

Am I allowed a second guess? Is it a match that's been struck then waved around?

Jake spoke on Tuesday 05^th of October 2004 at 09:40 PM, saying:

Have as many guesses as you like Tintil. It's not a match though.

Maybe a clue. Plumbing!

Some rather hot steel wool I would guess.

Jake spoke on Thursday 07^th of October 2004 at 09:25 AM, saying:

Well done Jerry. It is wire wool, hot because I've been holding a blow-torch to it for a couple of seconds. The effect is something I noticed by accident while doing some plumbing a while ago.

is it a mini piece of tumble weed which some one is shining a torch on in the middle of the night?

It looks like a bird's nest with a flashlight shining on it.
