cycling in the heat
It's been hot, recently. The other day it was 27oC by 07:00, with a 95% relative humidity. Every day the temperature soars into the thirties.
Needless to say, cycling in such weather presents some problems. Sweating profusely, I find myself getting scorched by passing cars as their overheated engines are joined by the "waste heat" coming from the air conditioning units. It can actually be too hot to stand next to.
But on the other hand such high temperatures give themselves to certain kinds of street photography. The cook sweating it out at the street-side walk-up mini-eatery, his customers waving fans. Men from a work crew taking a break, huddled in the shade of a tree or building. Scantily-clad young ladies sweating through their profuse make-up.
Every season has its opportunities, it seems.
