Photo Hunt Covered
The theme for the week's Photo Hunt is covered, Here are a couple of photos ofour incinerator which of course has a lid to cover it. I like that fire shoots out of the hole n the cover.
That's interesting. We haven't been able to use incinerators for forty years in this part of the world. No safety regulations forbidding it in the land of rules?
I would never have thought to use an incinerator for this theme! I love the contrast between the light of the fire and the darks of the rest of teh shots
Dramatic shots! It's a long time since I have seen an incinerator in operation! Often outlawed here in Australia unless you get permission to burn from the council!
What a good idea ! never thought of that ! I wanted to put a picture of an ash cloud covered sky, but the sky is so blue as if we were at the Cote d'Azur ! Airport is closed, whole Europe in a mess, but the sky is uncovered, lol !
The incinerator is so cool looking especially the first picture with the raging fire going. We had one when I was growing up. I hadn't remembered it for a long time but I have memories of my dad standing out in the alley tending the fire. We would burn papers and some garden refuge. They banned them ages ago mostly for air quality issues. I think some areas (mostly rural) can still have bonfires to burn garden/yard waste.
I've really enjoyed the last two week's photos. They are showing a bit of your local area which I've found very interesting.
Very cool pictures, and a glorious take on the theme. We are not allowed to have back yard incinerators here since too many toxic things get burned in them. But I remember having one when I was a little girl.
I'm afraid my offering is what you would expect to find on the garden blog. . .flowers! http://healingmagichands.wordpress.com/2010/04/17/photohunt-covered/

Those are cool looking fire shots. I'm glad the cover has a hole in it too. Have a great weekend.
What or whom do you burn?
Thanks all.
Calum I assure you we only burn heretics at our house!
Very original. Happy weekend.

Thanks everyone!
Wow that is a fascinating shot...Happy hunting..
interesting shots for the theme.
We don't keep incinerators in our homes in our part of the world. There's a possibility that murder cases will rise. :P
Very cool - love the flames.
I like the cook flame photos!
Wow! it looks as though it's about to take off. :)
Yeh, I like those fire shots too. You definitely got it COVERED and thanks for dropping by my blog and I hope I see you again soon.

I really appreciate how you take ordinary and make it artistic.
aloha,
what a great interpretation of the theme today, very creative and colorful, i love the unusual takes you do and the drammatic colors
I thought at first it was a still. I've never seen a back yard incinerator before.

Yes, a brilliant take on the theme.
I miss an open fire. Not allowed where I have lived for many years.
fire is fascinating, don't you think?
I had a weak connection to "fire" in my photo this week
Great idea for the theme, love the photos :-)
Awesome - love the way the sparks fly around after they escape the cover!
