Round Robin: It's (Not) A Dry Heat

For this week's Round Robin Photo Challenge: Hot! Hot! Hot!, I asked to see pictures that somehow convey the impression of heat. Short of showing a thermometer or a fire, this is a little tricky, and I'm not sure I've quite managed it. But here are some shots taken in Tucson in July and August, during the summer monsoon when we have both heat and humidity. This morning it was in the 80s, with humidity in the 40s; this afternoon it hit 108 with only 14% humidity. Hot enough for you?

The dogs catch some shade at the ramada (a sheltered area, with a roof but no walls) by the Boneyard (airplane graveyard). This must be when I lost that washcloth!

Protection against the heat: my hat and the dogs' foldable water dish.

Not much shade at the moment at Michael Perry Park.

A dry lakebed at Agua Caliente Park.

The dreadful orange sky of a stormy sunset reminds us of the heat of the sun itself.

Now let's see what other Robins found that was really hot!
