Photo Friday: Fire breather at Ohio University

There's nothing like bumming around a college campus on a sunny afternoon when college is in session. Students invariably take advantage of fine weather to go outside and study, socialize, or relax after a long day of classes.

Students often look for a way to blow off a little steam. Others may be more interested in breathing a little fire, like this group of students we found during one of our visits to Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.

OK, so after looking around the Web, I know there is a difference between fire breathing and fire eating, and most "professional" fire eaters I found online discourage either practice.

These students were fire breathing.

Fire eating? Fire breathing? Not for me!

Don't try this at home, indeed!

Check out my story about this beautiful and historic campus that traces its roots back to the years immediately following the American Revolution in the late 1700s and early 1800s.

This photo didn't quite go with that story, but it was too good not to share anyway.

Thanks to Debbie Dubrow of Delicious Baby for creating and coordinating Photo Friday to link travel photos and blog posts across the Web.

Wow! Athens looks like a smokin' good time! (groan)

Thanks for the great photo, and the link to your awesome feature on one of Ohio's most scenic and eclectic destinations.

We're hot today! :D

I'm hoping we get back down to the Athens/Hocking area soon. Great area for taking photos, and the early 1800s architecture and history of the campus is pretty fascinating.
