ART : L'INCREDIBILE INCENDIO DI GHIACCIO

Per spegnere un incedio a questa vecchia caserma dei vigili del fuco di Chicago, l'acqua degli idranti ha colpito le fiamme, ma subito dopo si è ghiacchiata per via delle basse temperature invernali. Le foto a questa specie di monumento ormai, sono state fatte da Robert R. Gigliotti, David Schalliol, e Darek Szupina.

It seems like just a few days ago Chicago had huge ice news, and now this. For the past few weeks things have been pretty darned frigid here in the windy city with temperatures dropping down to the single digits, and just when we couldn’t take it anymore things started to warm up, in a massive-abandoned-warehouse-bursting-into-flames sort of way. Nearly 200 firefighters were on the scene in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood to battle the blaze and incredibly nobody was injured. Temperatures were so low during the fire that water sprayed on the building froze almost instantly leaving behind a spectacularly beautiful ice-encrusted wonderland. Photographers Robert R. Gigliotti, David Schalliol, and Darek Szupina stopped by yesterday and snapped these extraordinary photos. You can see much more over on the Chicago Tribune.
