Holy Smokes, So That Is What 108 Degrees Feels Like! - In the San Juaquin Valley
Summer in the San Juaquin, which is only an hour east of here, is an eye opening experience. On the coast, where I live, we consider 80 degrees to be quite hot, though on rare occasions we get into the 90s. Crossing over the coastal hills is like going from one planet to another.In the distance signs of grass fires, the bane of summertime in California, can be seen. The waterway is the California Aquaduct which brings life to this the most fertile place on earth.

Funny, it doesn't look that warm. Great colors over on this side, though. You have any more shots from here to share with us?

I really like this image MJ! It has a semi-geometrical square-ish quality with the lines of the land contours and the protruding peaks of the mountain range.
You have captured this scene well! It is visually pleasing and tells a story of the landscape. The blackened and dry grasslands and the large canal - a land of counterpane!
