Mountain heat

The San Gabriel Mountains stand tall and rugged in this shot up Temple City Boulevard on Wednesday. You can check out last year's shot from this very spot, which had more sunset lighting. This was shot in the middle of the day. It was 85 degrees yesterday. We're in a warm spell.
Little known fact: The San Gabriel Mountains are the fastest growing mountains in the U.S. They grow about 2-4 inches each year.

  1. Even though we left Arcadia 19 years ago for the Boston area, there was no mistaking those mountains even from the tiny picture in the portal. Your photo brings back warm memories.

  4. Antjas, the San Gabriels are unmistakable. Their presence is felt. Michael, thanks! It must be the new lens I got for Christmas. Alex, your theory is the heat resonates off the mountains as the sun goes down. I'd like to hear more. I'm no meteorologist.
