Here in the Northern Hemisphere we’re sweltering. Most of us aren’t complaining about the high temperatures, but the fact is that many days are turning out to be extraordinarily hot and humid.
Perhaps this image, by davitydave, will have a cooling effect on its viewers.
I like davitydave’s image of the Chilean Andes in winter not merely for its icy opposition to the weather we’re encountering up north, but also for its graininess, motion, and thin winter light. These characteristics remind me of a lost scrapbook photo of a winter holiday. This photograph carries with it an appealing sense of timelessness.
