"This is the magnificent outcome of a five-alarm warehouse fire in Chicago that was extinguished in freezing temperatures. Two-hundred firefighters battled the fierce fire and the water sprayed apparently froze over instantly. Real life ice wonderland!"

I wanted to share this article because these images show a design by nature, using natural elements, in a natural environment. The elements do not primarily emulate color, line, texture, form; they are fire and water under freezing temperatures. The result? A frozen sculpture of a struggle to put out a fire. This public domain changes the gallery space because it is street art, in a sense. Fire fighters took part in adding water under freezing temperatures (makes me wonder, what if painters were called plain canvas fighters, or something). Never seen anything like this before, so I was amazed.
