Mother Nature is turning up the temperature and this summer has been plenty hot. Moscow in particular and Russia in general, has experienced record breaking heat with temperatures hovering around the 100 degree mark. The people of Moscow have been so hot they have been jumping into the plaza fountains fully clothed. Along with the blistering hot temperature have come extremely dry conditions which have fed out of control fires that have burned villages right to the ground. Moscow is surrounded by fires and the smoke has caused all kinds of people with respiratory conditions to retreat into their apartments to escape the thick polluted air. Unfortunately there is no central cooling and for many the heat inside is worse then out, driving them back out into the extreme conditions. This piece is about the heat and fires. The fountain has hot polluted water coming out of the top which is raining down on three people in the bottom tier. Fire is boxing it all in.
