No pictures of fireworks in my albums, so this is my idea of fire and the works.Fire dance, and eating fire.

After a hot 95 degree day. Thunderclouds rolled in for an evening light show. The storm lasted over 2 hours. A bolt of lightning can raise the temperature of the air by as much as 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit (27,700 degrees Celsius), and contain a hundred million electrical volts. I see a face...two eyes and lightning bolts from his nose.

In Japanese Shinto shrines worshippers light and burn sticks of incense in large bundles and their purpose is to purify the surroundings. People, who are not familiar with Buddhist and Hindu religions, might understand this photo in a wrong way... (I remember my first reaction when I saw this symbol!) This is not the Nazi swastika! The Buddhist and Hindu swastikas look like mirror images of the Nazi symbol and symbolise peace, prosperity, good luck and love.

On Galveston Island in Texas, the Houston branch of The American Institute of Architects (AIA) hosts an annual sandcastle competition of Architects, Engineers, and Construction teams. Nearly 80 teams show up to build a sandcastle using only water and native sand in 5 hours time. This was my company's 2007 creation that won an Honorable Mention. The tallest "tree trunk" stands about 7' off of the ground. We try again in late May, 2008!

I know most people think of travel, vacations, fun, in summer, but to us summer means work. I tell Brady that I should be charging him for helping to create all those muscles. Of course, working out a couple hours every night after working here all day probably helps. thanks to all who have stopped by. Brady has worked hard on his body and is pretty proud of it. Of course he does have youth on his side also. He is not all brawn, as he graduated summa cum laude this past spring, not that Grandma is proud or anything. He also writes some wonderful music on the computer and guitar. If interested, check out http://www.myspace.com/starlightandsagai

HOT! .... but cooling off!

WHEN are they going to be able to handle "portrait" oriented shots?

They don't call this trade Hot work for nothing. This guys are welding the pipes at temperatures above 1000 degrees fahrenheit. No flash were used in this shot as the flashes emitted from the welding arc is sufficient to lit up the subjects and it could even blind you if you stare at it with your naked eye. Hot work is Hard work.

I'll let you be the judge. Are they hot enough for you?

As hot as it gets. While traveling in Bali we came to a town that had a "festival of funeral". In the picture, the dead persone is inside the paper Bull. After their friends put gifts inside the bull together with the dead, the whole structure is being burned. Please visit the album for a complete description of the ceremony.

Hot at 95 and still going strong, well maybe not real strong, but still going.... She hears, sees, walks without a cane, has a better memory than me, and has a three legged cat for a companion. My brother and I both live next door. What more can one ask for at 95? And how lucky we are to still have her.

what hot is...sexy hot Penelope...She also knows that red is a hot color...and we know that Penelope is usually "hot under the collar" about something. This week Penelope wants to mention a "hot" topic...Penelope does not mean to offend anyone...and Penelope knows she is guilty on this topic...but Penelope also knows she will never win the CC...she just loves her fans...So what you ask is the hot topic?...digital creations...some of the photographers have mentioned that there is a lot of digital wizardry going on at webshots...Penelope loves what a lot of people have done...but some of the photographers who only take pictures and don't have the means or time to bewitch their photos would like to see 2 challenges, or separate challenges for pure photos and enhanced photos...Penelope loves webshots and does not want to lose any of her upset friends...and Penelope knows this is a page everyone reads...

What a great time for an evening swim!

The heat simmering from the beach sand in front of the dunes caused an illusional effect within the picture.

* Location: in Yellowstone National Park Old Faithful is the world's most famous geyser. Situated in Yellowstone National Park's Upper Geyser Basin, it was given its name by members of the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition because of its predictable eruptions, every 60-90 minutes. Each eruption lasts 1.5-5 minutes, expelling some 3,700-8,400 gallons of boiling water (14,000-32,000 liters) in a narrow jet stream.

hot fire, hot embers, and it was a hot day when this was taken.

this was taken last year in Newport Rhode Island at the end of a hot day. Hot sunset to end a hot day.

This year I used my digital camera to take photos of the fireworks. [Fireworks-Montclair-July4-2008] It was raining the night of July 4th but I got amazing photos anyway. This one sure looks like a fire ball indeed - some hot firework in more ways than one.

Oh Mister Sun, Sun, Mister Golden Sun, Please shine down on me!

This gorgeous guy was a counselor at the camp I attended last summer. I had a major crush on him, I think you can see why. When you said we had to post and enter hot summer photos - this photo came to mind immediately!!!

Every flower dried.

Hot springs are the most common hydrothermal features in the park. Their plumbing has no constrictions. Superheated water cools as it reaches the surface, sinks, and is replaced by hotter water from below. This circulation, called convection, prevents water from reaching the temperature needed to set off an eruption.

The heavens appear to be ignited on fire... A brilliant sky overlooks the powerful ocean colliding with the earth. The stone walls were built with skills handed down by the ancient Hawai'ians from generation to generation. This inspiring natural cathedral is located in my own backyard.

It is winter here now and these fires in the yard were a popular spot at my daughters housewarming party. It can be tricky to not overexpose the flames and end up with white flares. It was the glow in the holes around the base that caught my eye.

What is it that makes candlelight so appealing?

At my daughters housewarming party the open fires were most welcome warmth. It can be tricky to not overexpose the flame and end up with white flares.

I asked some people when I was going to win the Creative Challenge... They told me when pigs fly!!! Burners can generate heat on the order of 30 million BTUs (31,651,677 kilojoule). And that is how you get a pig to fly!!! I'd fly too if someone put that kind of heat under me!!!(LOL)

Something Hot...but something cool...Something refreshing...something romantic!!! Hot air ballooning has it all...and those burners...Burners can generate heat on the order of 30 million BTUs (31,651,677 kilojoule).

The pilot actuates a burner by opening a propane valve, called a blast valve. The valve may be spring loaded so that it closes automatically, or it may stay open until closed by the pilot. The burner has a pilot light to ignite the propane and air mixture. The pilot light may be lit by the pilot with an external device, such as a flint striker or a lighter, or with a built-in piezo electric spark.[19] A burner may have a secondary propane valve that releases propane more slowly and thereby generates a different sound. This is called a whisper burner and is used for flight over livestock to lessen the chance of spooking them. It also generates a more yellow flame and is used for night glows because it lights up the inside of the envelope better than the primary valve. Burners can generate heat on the order of 30 million BTUs (31,651,677 kilojoule).

Spicey Hot

Flaming Hot

Tihany is a village on the northern shore of Lake Balaton on the Tihany Peninsula (Hungary, Veszprem county). The whole peninsula is a historical district. Paprika is a spice made from the grinding of dried sweet red bell peppers (Capsicum annuum). In many European countries the name paprika also refers to bell peppers themselves. The seasoning is used in many cuisines to add colour and flavour to dishes. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word comes from the Hungarian "paprika", which derives from the Serbian "paprika", which means "the one that is hot" and it is derived from Serbian papar "pepper" which in turn was borrowed from the Latin "piper", for "pepper." Paprika is used as an ingredient in a broad variety of dishes throughout the world. Paprika (pimenton in Spain, colorau in Portugal, chiltoma in Nicaragua, but these "paprikas" are not made exclusively from bell peppers, other varieties are used, and there are several hot and sweet "paprikas") is principally used to season and colour rices, stews, and soups, such as goulash. In Spain, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Portugal, paprika is also used in the preparation of sausages as an ingredient that is mixed with meats and other spices. Paprika may be smoked for additional flavour. In India, a similar powdered spice comes from a fruit locally called 'deghi mirchi', which is grown widely and takes on a slightly different flavour depending on local soil and climatic conditions. The hottest paprikas are not the bright red ones, but rather the palest red and light brown coloured ones. Types of Hungarian paprika (Hungarian name in parentheses): Special Quality (K�lonleges): The mildest and brightest red of all Hungarian paprikas, with excellent aroma. Delicate (Edes csemege): Ranging from light to dark red, a mild paprika with a rich flavour. Exquisite Delicate (Csemegepaprika): Similar to Delicate, but more pungent. Pungent Exquisite Delicate (Csipos Csemege, Pikans): A yet more pungent Delicate. Rose (Rozsa): Pale Red in colour with strong aroma and mild pungency. Noble Sweet (Edesnemes): The most commonly exported paprika; bright red and slightly pungent. Half-Sweet (Feledes): A blend of mild and pungent paprikas; medium pungency. Hot (Eros): Light brown in colour, this is the hottest of all the paprikas. In some languages, such as Dutch or German, the word "paprika" is used for the fruit, the bell pepper, of which the spice is made. (Source: Wikipedia)

Robert Indiana (born Sept 13, 1928) is an American artist associated with the Pop Art movement. Indiana moved to New York City in 1954 and joined the pop art movement, using distinctive imagery drawing on commercial art approaches blended with existentialism, that gradually moved toward what Indiana calls "sculptural poems". Indiana's work often consists of bold, simple, iconic images, especially numbers and short words like "EAT", "HUG", and "LOVE". Indiana's best known image is the word love in upper-case letters, arranged in a square with a tilted letter O. This image, first created for a Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art in 1964, was included on an eight-cent United States Postal Service postage stamp in 1973, the first of their regular series of "love stamps."
