The first permanent photograph was a contact-exposed copy of an engraving and was made in 1822. Advances in digital photography combined with the Internet have made it possible for us to enjoy huge amounts of photographs. Some good, some not as good. In TFB’s Photo Of The Day, we do our best to select the best images out there, with a focus on firearms. Today we’re going to have some fun with Russian Kalashnikovs and Fire.

Caption, computer translated from Russian:

If you start freezing this is a solution guaranteed to keep you a little bit warmer.
