Question FOUNTAIN OF FIRE!!! And more

To me the fountain looks like there's a fire in it !

And that fountain would chage colours also.
Here it is in red.

This is a Cathedral nearby.

And this last one's a sunset taken from my backyard!

I love this shot except for the lens reflection.
Does anyone know how to avoid this when taking this kind of shot .

As for avoiding flare, that's hard to say. Some lenses are just more prone to it than others. Shooting into a light source will increase the chances of flare. To minimize it, a lens hood and/or circular polarizer might help, as could either holding up your hand next to the lens to block some of the light or slightly changing the angle of the lens. That's all I can suggest.
