March 11, 2009, 11:30 AMwoo hoo.I didn't know 烧，but knew 香 meant fragrant,so as soon as I saw the flames as the pic was downloading,I knew it was going to be a pic of incence.
Breakdown:
烧...to burn [you can see the fire radical on the left]
香...frangrant/incense
...to burn something fragrant...to burn incense
interesting pic,btw,looking through the flames...
