    Nice shot, but, well, to have great sunsets, you've gotta have clouds and clouds mean higher humidity. Sitting here w/ a broken AC umph.gif in the middle of the hottest and muggiest week on record in inland so cal (it was 117 here on Sat, 9 degrees F hotter than the previous hottest day), I'll take the clear blue, dry, skies (almost) any day.

    This is a beautiful sunset, nice capture. I love the texture of the clouds and the colors. This is one of the things that remind me to be thankful for all the beauty in the world, after I come home from a crazy day at work.

    Man ... it is tough in the IE ... (I grew up in Chino ... technically not the IE but pretty darn close) ... When I was a kid, on days like we're having now, I used to hang out at food lockers (my recommendation).

    Thanks everyone, for your kind comments...
    Frog Lady,

    Sorry to hear about your dilemma. My wife and I just recently moved up here from the South. She grew up in the South and would never go back. She calls our Michigan summers "air conditioned sunshine"...:):

    Evil Eggplant,

    That's a keeper. I can see that hanging in someone's homethumb.gif

    Here's one more pic, from me...

    Thanks again, and take care everyone... wave.gif

    I really like this one Russ; IMHO, it beats the 1st hands downthumb.gif

    thanks everyone for the cool wishes. The a/c was finally fixed today and for the 1st time in 4 nights, it'll get below 85 F in the house tonight! Max high inside was 94F. Only lost a couple of fish (I guess they weren't tropical enough?) and house plants, but was really worried about the 18 and 19 yr old cats - but they pulled through too.
