Hot
January 12, 2012
When we moved to Kamloops from Vancouver, we weren’t really prepared for the heat. Being a coastal city, Vancouver rarely sees temperatures over the high 20’s. Kamloops on the other hand, is in the South West Interior and is arid and hot — very hot. Summer temperatures can crest 45C, which is hot for Canada.
There’s sagebrush and Ponderosa Pines and cacti and lots of barren, weather-worn rock. The painting below was done in a location called Silt Bluffs which are full of character and stand above the North Thompson River. This scene is only about ten minutes away from downtown.

Your photos are superb. The black and white one of the woman in the restaurant is beyond words. It is exquisitely done.

I can see spirits dancing in the center of the piece and I can feel the warmth.

Hi,
Very nice, I love the way you have used the warm/hot colours.
It gets hot here in the part of Australia that I live in as well, which is classed as the tropics.
