A capture of an art glass plate seen at the Tempe Art Festival, this central section looks just like fire to me. Since glass blowing and glass art begins with fire, seeing it born right into the glass for the color was exciting. I do not know the artist and would appreciate an ID so I may give a credit. This photo was shot about 20 feet from the plate displayed on a stand in a vendor booth.
a level 5 alert fire is the highest level a fire can be gauged. a level 5 requires the assistance of all available firefighters to help control the situation. yesterday i came across this fire incident which was given this status as the conditions, high level winds, water shortage and very dry weather, induced the flames even further. this large fire razed through this community of urban informal settlers in metro manila scorching hundreds of houses that left hundreds of families homeless. firefighters were able to control the fire after 12 hours
It is amazing what a mouthful of flamable liguid can create in the hands of a skilled performer. This 22 year old woman can do it all at the Renaissance Festival. Thanks to Alex Levy for his help and friendship which allowed me to get this shot. I still needed to stand farther away to get the full ball of fire, but you get the idea!!
While not a difficult skill to learn initially, it is the most dangerous of all the fire arts, and not just due to the obvious risk of serious burns. To increase safety, fire breathers must avoid highly explosive fuels such as alcohol, spirit-based fuels, and most petrochemicals, instead using safer combustibles with a high flash point (>50 °C) and relatively low burn temperature. Due to its relatively safe (~90 °C) flash point, paraffin or highly purified lamp oil, is the preferred fuel for fire breathing.
Wind direction is extremely important when fire breathing. To determine the wind direction artists usually watch the flame on their torch. If the torch's flame is not being blown in any specific direction then it is relatively safe to breathe. If a torch's flame is consistently blowing in a specific direction it is unsafe to breathe in that direction, or its opposite. Wind reversal can cause the flame to burn the breather.
I am home sick today but had to go out and get some cold medicine.
When I stepped out the front door I saw a big cloud of smoke from a nearby fire. It's stupid global warming Santa Ana day today so of course it's gotta catch something on fire.
Even though I feel like crap, I had to go around and try and get a few pictures. The panorama feature on the Fuji X-E1 is pretty hit or miss, but I got two decent pans.
So far no homes have been damaged and I hope it stays that way.
Cheers.
Fire in a tyre depot spread to adjoining buildings. Time of call; 0648hrs. Incident went MP4, MP6, MP10 and finally MP14. Crews from Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire in attendance
I'm sorry, it's been way way too long. As I mentioned before I gained a lot of weight and it's made doing photos harder. I gave up for awhile and, honestly, had no purpose in life. I wasn't creating anything, I was just...existing.
I lost my sister in May and it changed me forever. I decided to do the best I can to live my life and start making positive changes. Lately I've been eating better and trying to take care of myself and as a result I've begun feeling better about myself.
It feels like the perfect time to jump back into creating pictures. I actually had something totally different planned that I was going to try today but last night Garry was watching youtube videos with me before bed and we watched one (that I CANNOT find) that featured a drawn picture of a dragon spewing fire and one of the townspeople had fire on their head. And it hit me...I NEED to do that.
I live in California where we're currently experiencing a big drought which has caused lots of fires this year. I wanted to create a picture to capture this moment in history as well.
So I braved the 100 degree heat and walked around my apartment complex collecting twigs and sticks. And then I spent another 2 hours hot gluing the sticks together in the shape of a crown.
Unfortunately, because I live in California I can't just run around setting twig crowns on fire (it would have been ideal) so I had to settle with finding stock images of fire and making them work. So kudos to Panopticon-Stock for their fire image I used.
I hope to keep creating...I want to do a picture every week. And I still have body image issues so I probably won't be featuring myself from the chest down anytime soon...but maybe soon I'll find confidence in myself and you'll begin to see more of me.
There are many common themes in the stories people tell. The names and places change, but the story, the song and the fire remain the same.
Fire has been a constant force in the lives of humans. But the metaphor of fire has also been constant. The pull of desire. The push away in caution.
Whether it was phrased as "the fire is so delightful", "let me stand next to your fire", or simply "oh fire", the message is the same.
On the other hand, on a cold early spring day, the warmth experienced from standing next to a delightful fire really brings out the "oh", perhaps not figuratively, but certainly literally.

I left the shutter open for 8 seconds and poked the fire mercilessly with a stick to make sure lots of sparks went up. It turned out far more interesting than I'd imagined. It wasn't even a big camp fire.
