A Month’s-End Associated Press (AP) Photographic Celebration Of: HELL

IT’S BEEN A long hot summer, but it’s winding down, only three weeks left, and here we are at the last day of August, which means The Brick House’s monthly allotment of Associated Press photos is toast. If we don’t use up those images, they don’t roll over to the next month, and that’s a waste of good Associated Press imagery, not to mention The Brick House’s operating expenses.

Hmm Weekly has been placed in charge of burning those unused subscription photos. This month we invite you to contemplate: HELL.
