Fire and flames

Brief

**Open to photographers with a ranking outside the top 1000. There are two other 'Fire and flames' contests currently open to other ranks. Take a look at the <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/leaderboard/">leaderboard</a> for more information on Photocrowd rankings.** Fire appears in many forms in our world, and can make for dramatic and beautiful photography. It heats us, provides light, cooks our food, and is used in ornamental ways, but it can also wreak havoc to our buildings and cities and be used as a weapon. In nature fire performs a role in promoting the cyclical renewal of habitats, but in recent times as the planet heats up it is increasingly threatening larger and larger areas with destruction.
