A close-up image depicts a vertically oriented flame

A close-up image depicts a vertically oriented flame. The flame's core is intensely bright, appearing white to pale yellow, gradually transitioning to an orange hue. A distinct blue combustion zone is visible along the lower perimeter and outer edges of the flame. The background is significantly out of focus, rendering as mottled dark reddish-brown and dark grey areas, with some subtle purple undertones. A light blue object is partially visible at the bottom of the frame, positioned beneath the flame's base. No individuals, specific actions, or environmental details are discernible within the image to establish a geographical location, including a location in the city of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France.
