The Fire

I found this somewhere on line, I don't remember where. And they swore it was the real thing, and not altered or photoshopped. What do you think? I kinda think it's real!



“It is with our passions as it is with fire and water; they are good servants, but bad masters.”

Hmmmm, I think it's manipulated.

I can't decide if I think it's real or manipulated. My big question though is why do they have a fire that big so close to the house.

a new quote for me and it is oh so true.. this could be real could be fake. i think it is fake but not saying it is.. i am leaning towards Fake. is the photo in your header real? were you playing with matches? i have no played with matches in a long time. who knows what 'passion' you have stirred up

I am not sure. And I am confused by the quote. My mind must be asleep this am. lol

I'm not sure about the photo, but it is interesting either way.

Rose said...

I think fake...but stranger things have happened and I could be totally wrong. I think Ann posed a good question...why a fire that big that close to the house.

I have a hard time telling what's photoshopped and what's not, on the internet today. Regardless, it's a really neat photo! ~Andrea xoxo
