From a classical point of view Fire is the fourth element. It is also the source of the fifth: Light...

Flames come from many sources, candlelights inside a house, gas flames outside on the street,
public fires to celebrate midsummer, new years fireworks, sparks and lightening etc...

Man is the only animal on Earth that knows the art of manipulating fire. Maybe that's why we also love to play with it. Even though it can be a hungry beast. Here's some burning, flaming, fleeting views... all caught 'in flagranti'... ;-)

Fiery quotes




Man is the only creature that dares to light a fire and live with it. The reason? Because he alone has learned to put it out.
Henry Jackson Vandyke, Jr.

There may be a great fire in our soul, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.
Vincent van Gogh

A great flame follows a little spark.
Dante Alighieri
