We always say goodbye to a passing year with a bonfire. Here it took the form of Grýla holding a misbehaved child ;o)
Fire at Convoy Construction Materials in the Richmond Industrial Park in Grande Prairie, April 9, 2015
Fire in Paris, somewhere in the 9e arrondissement. It seems to be near the Le Pelletier or Cadet Metro stations. July 2007 by gph.
SO0oo much time spent editing on Photoshop Elements Editor and Lightroom! Let me explain the process I went through so you could further appreciate this piece of work.
I wanted to show the conflict between fire & ice, hot & cold, and I think it's captivated best in the eyes that are locked and loaded. My greatest struggle was getting the middle right because I wanted to show fire and ice intermingling, instead of a clashing wall of two separate elements. It was difficult to not make one side seem like it's overwhelming the other. I made my skin tone more orangish-yellow and the ice guy's more bluish-grey, then worked on the ice guy's side first:
I added frost in his hair, I put cerulean energy seeping from his eyes (which I got rid of the pupils), I put frost on his collar, put ice crystals on his shoulder, put pieces of ice floating around him and adjusted the skin tone on the right side of his face to be more warm and yellowish because the light is coming from the fire guy's glow, casting crisp shadows on the other side of the ice guy's face (which I like because not only does the contrast satisfy me but it makes reference to things that tend to be colder in the absence of light).
For the fire guy, I put flames spilling from his eyes to symbolize the burning anger he has for ice that's physically manifested into a beam of heat directly from his irises. I made the hair color in his back more light and reddish, and put embers blazing around the bottom. I wanted the flurry of dancing flames to have a smooth flowing movement towards the upper-left corner, joined by a flare of sparks in the middle near the furious eyes.
I think it worked to my advantage to refrain from shaving that day - it appears more untamed, animalistic and wild (adding to the effect of uncontrollable rage), whereas the ice guy is more cool and collected, he shaved so his skin is smooth as the surface of water before it freezes. I wanted him to be smirking, like he's aware of the conflict but he's more prepared to "play" than fight because he's not worried - this may leave room for an impression of a cocky personality. En garde!
Fire trick - Truco de fuego
Pasando una noche con la soledad. Una pequeña vela lucha para que no todo sea negra noche sin estrellas. Y lo consigue. Su llama se dobla y brilla mas, y la esperanza parece renacer allí donde su significado se había olvidado.

The first excavations in the Barracks of the Fire Brigade were conducted in 1888-1889, by Lanciani. The excavation was completed in the years 1911-1912, by Vaglieri. In 1964 a trench was dug by Zevi in the Augusteum, at the west end of the courtyard. The building as we see it today is largely Hadrianic, but Zevi discovered the remains of an older building belonging to the reign of Domitian (81-96 AD). He also found fragments of dedications by fire-fighters, to Trajan and Hadrian, belonging to the Domitianic building. The barracks were rebuilt completely at the end of the reign of Hadrian (132-137 AD; opus latericium). The fire-fighters (vigiles) in Ostia and Portus belonged to the Roman cohorts, and came to the harbour city for periods of four months. It was a vexillation of four centuries. Originally 320 men were stationed in the harbours.

At about 4:30 this afternoon this grass fire started. There were houses nearby, however none appeared damaged. It was attended by several fire department trucks and within an hour it appeared to be pretty much under control. You can see how dry the grass is in these images, so there's a good chance this wont be the last grass fire in the region this summer.
