We didn’t start the fire, but we want to see your best photos of heat
From pyrotechnics to piles of chili peppers, share any image that’s hot, hot, hot.
An erupting volcano. Spicy food that causes you to break out into a sweat. A fiery sunset. Heat is interesting, varied, and complex. It spans the natural elements to the heights of emotion. Inspired by the rising temperatures as the summer solstice approaches, this week’s Photos of the Day theme is a study in all things hot.

This week’s theme
For this week’s Photos of the Day challenge, we want to see your best images that interpret the theme, “heat.” Film, digital, instant; B&W, color, sepia, and more are all welcome, so get creative. Will you photograph a city in a heat wave? The flame on the grill? Lovers in a passionate embrace? The steam of a sauna? We’re on the lookout for the most interesting interpretations.
