@Tint – I found that Portuguese was pretty hard… I can speak Spanish but the sounds in Portuguese was new to me and quite weird at first. My vocabulary is about two words anyway!

@Art – I made sure of it before taking pics…

@Graham – I know, it was bad… but the family was quite positive with the whole thing, they had insurance and no one was hurt, so…

@shionge – Last time I heard, they were about to rebuild on the same land.

@Linguist-in-Waiting – I took the picture just for the sake of it but I was quite pleased with the results!

@Froggywoogie – There are quite a lot of fires here, houses are made of paper it seems… the whole thing burnt so quickly, we barely saw it happening!

@kyh – Yeah, no luck on that one… but as I said, fortunately, they had a good insurance policy at least.

@Tanya – Thank you!

@zunnur – It was so quick, I think it burnt down whithin a few minutes. Crazy.

@Shantanu – I know…

@durano lawayan – I hope they will put this tragic event behind them.

@Theresa – Thank you! As I said, no way I would have taken the picture if there would have been human loses.

@ammaro – I tried my best!

@Aiglee – I wouldn’t have taken the picture otherwise, for sure!

That is a terrible way to start the year, but at least no one was hurt. The picture is absolutely brilliant in spite of the subject.

Hi Zhu,

This sort of thing happening during the Christmas Season is such a huge dampener. It ruins the memories of a Christmas celebration , replaced by the horrors of a catastrophe.

Good thing no one was hurt. How would you feel if you won? Would you be happy? Just Teasing! –Durano, done!

Poor family, glad that they escaped unhurt.
I’m surprised that the fire totally destroyed the house despite the snowy weather and the effort by the firemen, good illustration of destruction.

things exist in 2 extremes. they can be your friend at times of needy, and a vicious enemy when you least expect it. life’s like that. *sigh*

and oh boy, this family is way unluckier than i am!

Wow, it always saddens me to learn some people have lost everything in a few minutes because of a fire or flooding or else. What a tragedy. Good to hear nobody was injured in this one.
This is a very good picture though.
BTW what’s wrong in being f****d on Spring lol – okay my bad
