From Darvaza with Love

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...
