2107_0143 Prairie Sunset
It may be a cliché, but I could not resist. This is another shot from the sizzling hot evening earlier this month when I took an air conditioned drive after supper to beat the heat. It was 38°C (100F) when I started out, and 26C (79F) when I returned two and a half hours later.
I just read this morning that from space, western North America currently looks like an ashtray. Unhealthy levels of smoke are predicted for my area over the next few days. I made this shot before forest fire season really got started in BC; despite the fiery colours, the air then was clear. July and August used to be prime time for outdoor activities, but things have changed.
