the word forMonday 15.03.2010 is COMBUSTION




Today's word is combustion which means to burn something. I didn't have to think hard or look very far for this image today. I have used one of the images of a burnt car, that is parked just round the corner from my house.
Can you see one of the loudspeakers?
