Jul 4: Fire and water

Why? For art's sake? I've been photographing bottles all weekend. Coke, beer, and now water. Looking for a striking image, I've gone all elemental and combined the cold water straight from the fridge with the heat of the flames. I wonder what they were thinking next door:

"He's really lost it now, he's BBQing a bottle of Perrier..."

"he's BBQing a bottle of Perrier" THAT cracked me up! I can just see very proper neighbors peering over the fence & documenting . . .

I love the flames. The bottle is essential, too. Excellent.

Unusual and warming.. I like the color coming through the middle of the bottle.
