The National Weather Service at the airport, three miles away, recorded 100° yesterday, 101° today.
This is a sunset more typical of the dog days of August. Haze completely obscures the mountains and, at times, the sun. The sun often appears as a pale-bright disk, very quiet and ghostly considering all the energy it’s poured into our world.

About five minutes apart. I couldn’t choose between them.
Just shy of 100 hereabouts. Hotter, no doubt, nearabouts.

Much closer to the mountains than my usual vantage point.

We filmed this painting from start to finish for a possible presentation later on Kickstarter.
