It definitely looks HOT !!!! You think 104F is hot.... you should try living in Arizona, USA !!!! Temperatures there can get upwards of 120F or higher for several months every year !!!!

Let me congratulate you yet again on another honor, inclusion in the Editor's Collection for Climate Change. This is an awesome photograph, and so perfectly captures the theme. Brilliant! Fred

said assistantchief84 2007.07.09 at 01:43:49 PDT

Maybe the sun in a billion years. I will not be around neither will you, don't sweat the media hype. Evaluate your situation, make the necessary adjustments, adapt to the enviroment changes, and survive. Animals hae been doing it for millions of years, you are no different. Photography is fun but please don't contribute to the hysteria about global warming. It may be happening and it may not be, it is anyones guess scientist or layman.

Very picturesque and serene,the buildings are outlined clearly even with the bright sunshine. Photo has a peacefulness about it with the two people sitting on the bench relaxing. Excellent scene.

said Redwoodsman 2007.06.26 at 08:05:39 PDT

The photo is fantastic, but the comment on global warming is not true, it just creates undue alarm in peoples minds, it was not that long ago the alarmists were pushing global cooling.

said Bishan2010 2007.06.13 at 04:07:51 PDT

Excellent image! It could be the winning picture. All around the world, there are record high temperatures being set; there are also record lows. This has been going on since these records were first kept and most likely, for a millenium before that. I do not necessarily tribute that to global warming; just nature doing what nature does. For millions of years(according to the science experts) glaciers have advanced and receded. This then, also must have been to 'global' warming/cooling.
