I could not help myself. I had to capture the thing that seemed to be making life miserable for everybody. So despite the fact that high noon is a bad time to shoot outdoors I looked at all the interesting cloud patterns and the searing sun and saw something I liked. In order to get the nice star pattern from the sun it is necessary to set your lens at a very small f-stop. In this case my lens was set at f- 22. This is an image that I saved the red channel in order to get the dark sky that contrast well with the clouds. I can still feel the heat when I look at this photograph.LynnFreeny.com
