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!

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

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.
