Can You Feel the Heat?

To me, this photo says "hot"! Maybe because I was there... I took the photo, and it was 103 degrees.  A little too warm to be wandering around the desert taking photos. I set my camera on a rock on the ground for this shot. Those are the Sheep Hole Mountains in the background. I like the sun flare and the blue sky. Linking to Skywatch Friday. Click on the link to check out great skies from around the world!!
A few more pics I want to share from out desert trip two weekends ago...

Balancing rock in b&w

Great rock formations in this area. I added a texture to give it some additional grit.

Heading home (west) through Wonder Valley, couldn't resist a quick shot of a desert homestead. Have a wonderful weekend, and take lots of photos!

    It was hot but you really give us a variety of shots. I love the "texturized" ones.

    and boots on your feet in the evenings....
    I think I'm liking the B & W's of these desert shots best!

    Yes, your first photo does beautifully say "hot"! The temperature reached 102° here yesterday -- an all-time record high here on the Plateau of Tennessee. I also like your self-portrait. You've done a great job with the edits.

    Great series of photos. I like the BW effect and especially the textured-petrified rocks!

    Hi there - great series of shots - and the post before it is rather strange to say the least!

    Cheers - Stewart M

    These are nice effects you've added to some of the photos. I especially like the old-photo look of the shadow on Highway 62 picture and the one right after that of the rock with texture added.

    Very nice desert shots. I do like the desert but not when it's too hot.
