Staying Cool by seattlite

Staying Cool

Seattle's annual heat wave is in full swing. This shot was taken a few days ago at Green Lake. I walked the lake in the morning when there's more shade to stay cool. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Seattle is covered with a smoke haze that is coming from the British Columbia wildfires. Historically, these are the worst wildfires BC has experienced in 60 years. Praying that BC can get control of these wildfires and that everyone remains safe.
Great sharpness and detail. I've been reading about the heat wave. They say it's the hottest ever. My sister says the haze/pollution from the fires is really bad. When are people going to get air conditioning up there? One has to wonder if it's finally time.

Wonderful shot Gloria, pity about your weather though. We have our share of horrific fires too. Praying for everyone. The planet is going crazy!

The heat sounds horrendous, I guess it will be our turn to swelter soon.
Lovely capture and the water is beautifully clear :)

Beautiful capture. We have been going through heat wave after heat wave throughout this summer. No wildfires here, no big forests around. Hope those at BC are brought under control very soon.

Well at least this drake looks cool if a tadge worried... he's probably heard about the wildfires too - simply dreadful state of affairs.

I love feathers. I can see each and every one.

@congaree Since we only have about 14 to 21 days a year of weather over 80 degrees, I'm not sure AC is worth it. But all cars have AC :).
