Forty two degrees

Today has been incredibly hot - 42 degrees and we have been melting. I wanted to create a photograph which reflects this.

Great shot. Made it a Fav.

[Shirley]

You nailed it Babs - hope it's cooler when we head your way in March

[Deb]

fav - i love the reflection in the floor and on the wax!!!

[Peter H]

Lovely - a great shot.

[Alison Tomlin]

Yep incredible heat. Hope it calms down soon.

[Amy]

Great idea!

[Brennan]

Very creative. I love the symmetry!

@toms365 @shirleytemple @gypsy6 @peadar @fueast @amyamoeba @brennan1983 @winnedreamer Thanks for all your comments and FAV's. I'm gobsmacked! Cooler today, only 26 degrees, but we had two spits of rain last night and the humidity is now 70%.

[Jo]

Love this shot - I know that feeling of melting, love all the colours, its a very clever idea.

[Babs]

@joluise Thanks Jo. Much cooler today. Keep hearing distant thunder, but no rain yet. Apart from a couple of spits last night, I haven't seen rain since the beginning of December!

[Pam Hunter]

Babs, such a great shot! It's such a leap to move from just snapping an image we happen upon to really creating what we want to convey. This captures it perfectly.

[Babs]

@pamhunter Thanks Pam. It has cooled down here again now and it has just started raining. First rain for over a month.

[Steve Purcell]

Great image really like the reflection on this well done

[saskia]

Great shot. I was thinking Holiday leftovers?:-)

[Elaine]

Great shot capturing that melting feeling! It has been crazy weather hot one day cooler the next!

[mizhayz]

wonderful melting pot of colors and the flame reflections are spot on.. well done here!!

[Paign]

Very inventive way to tell people how hot it is, I really like this idea =3

[Leila]

Very creative, I can feel the heat.

[Babs]

@serpantmedia Thanks Steve. I lived in Manchester, UK, many many years ago. Look forward to seeing what it looks like now.

[Babs]

@vaugdds @elaine55 @mizhayz @paign @leilaboyd Thanks everyone. I am amazed that so many people have looked at this photo.

[Gladys]

[Ivan Christopher]

Nice colors! :)

Cool!!!!

Btw, if you have time, pretty please follow me. I'm new here and just wanna make friends with same interests in photography. Thank you! :)

[Mick Porter]

We haven't been quite as hot up in QLD, but we had 95% humidity and 35 degrees. Nice way to portray the heat :)

[Babs]

@pizzaboy I think the 95% humidity is worse than 42 degrees to be honest. It's cooler now, but apparently going to be hot again in a few days time. Ugh. Roll on March it should be cooler by then.

[Wendy Bowden]

Cool shot, terrific reflection of the flames
