THIS IS THE week that was, in photos…

The Week in Photos: Fierce
1 / 15

  • Fierce fire

    The sun and nearby clouds of smoke turn a brilliant red where a wildfire burns past the paved section of Number 1 Canyon Road, near Wenatchee, Wash. Crews in central Washington and Wyoming worked Monday to protect homes from two of the many wildfires burning throughout the West as a destructive fire season stretches into September with no relief expected from the weather anytime soon. The National Weather service issued red-flag warnings for wide swaths of eastern Washington and Oregon, Idaho, Montana and all of Wyoming, meaning conditions could exacerbate blazes.

  • Vivid sky

  • Difficult memories

    The construction of One World Trade Center, now up to 104 floors, is seen across the Hudson River as a runner glides his hand at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, N.J., along the wall of 'Empty Sky,' New Jersey's memorial to the 749 people from the state lost during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Americans paused again Tuesday to mark the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks with familiar ceremonies, but also a sense that it's time to move forward after a decade of remembrance.

  • Powerful

State officials say Indian police have fired at protesters near the plant being constructed, killing one person. Construction of the plant has been delayed by protests in the past year by residents and anti-nuclear groups concerned about safety following the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster in Japan last year.

  • Bird of prey

  • Extreme orange

    An Indian Kanwarias, worshipper of Hindu God Shiva, carries a metal canister filled with holy water from the Ganges River before offering it at the Padilla Mahadev temple, on the outskirts of Allahabad, India. Kanwarias are devotees performing a ritual pilgrimage in which they walk the roads of India, clad in saffron, and carrying ornately decorated canisters of the sacred water of the Ganges River over their shoulders, to take it back to Hindu temples in their hometowns. Hundreds of Kanwarias travelled to Allahabad to the revered local Shiva temple. (AP Photo/Rajesh Kumar Singh)

  • Armed and dangerous

  • Profound pain

    Daniel Soares, second from left, husband of Claudia Lago, cries next to his son Gabriel, 10, during a protest against violence in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Claudia Lago was killed when police reacted to a robbery on Sept. 4. Three families joined forces to protest against the death of relatives who have been fatally shot in the past weeks by stray bullets during police operations. The glasses are filled with red paint symbolising blood. (AP Photo/Victor R. Caivano)

  • Fierce thunders

  • Wildfire
