In some mitigation of that headline is that for about 30 minutes the angle of the sun hits the porch at the hottest point of the day. Still, the temps were close and the humidity and dew points were sky high.
Then, this morning, the news reports made mention of how bad the humidity and heat were yesterday. I know, I was out in that heat and even had to use my umbrella at one bus stop. One weatherman said that the humidity was so thick,"could cut it with a chain saw."
With heat index readings of 100 today, it's going to be an 'inside day' without question.
So, without making excuses, I missed the shot of the day because I was holding an umbrella at an unsheltered bus stop. The shot was a double wide mobile home moving from west to east on the top 5th level of the Dallas High 5. It was so weird to see a house up there, some 120 feet above grade level.That is looking into the office buildings 10th floor. That was a totally unexpected event and proved to me even more the reason I have always traveled with my cameras. Making shots like that are lost in a moment if not paying attention, or by doing a simple thing like keeping the hot sun contained while in a warming environment of today.
A cold front is on the way for the weekend with temps in the upper 70s and much lower humidities. The thing about cold fronts in Texas other than winter is that they are usually short lived.
