Summer in the city

Oh, sure, the photo above looks like another cool, cloudy morning downtown.  Maybe a refreshing rain is about to start, a lovely breeze floating in from the Hudson...

But, no!

Imagine the temperature is 1000 degrees, the air thick and gooey as rubber cement, every surface dripping in sweat and the stench of hot tar permeating the streets.  This is reality:

Have a good day, everyone!
