Inspire or Destroy
Though this post was for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, I think this may also be appropriate for the WPC: Unique theme.
Fire can inspire or destroy — usually at the same time ~Zachary Woolfe
Sculpting with fire:
Karen Cusolito’s sculpture is a pyrotechnic garden, includes a 14-foot-tall dandelion and flames jetting from its 24-inch-long seeds. –Smithsonian Magazine, December 2012
The next time you find your self lost in thought while gazing at the fireplace ablaze or even a solitary candle flame, consider this: Being mesmerized by fire might have sparked the evolution of the human mind…. The most enduring tool that fire ever made might just be the human mind. ~ Thomas Wynn

I was just thinking of all the fires started in nightclubs that killed people… It makes me worry but it is beautiful.
