is from the Esplanade/Marina area. A huge torch. With real fire.It also looks like a huge version of

What if the smoke brings tragic ruin to the oh youthful Y.O.G participants? I'm guessing that's why the Greek used handheld torches. And I think they lit up fires on mountains in a time nobody complained the sky is falling.
