It was a hazy day as is obvious from the photo but down beneath these green hills is the city I live in... well, part of it anyway.
We've been having some heavy sultry weather lately... now, I don't mind the heat but the humidity usually gets the better of me. And the nights in particular have been difficult... you can't sleep, you can't stay awake... and when it's time to get up, you feel exhausted as if from hard labour.
Anyway, we spent part of the day in these hills and it was a welcome refreshment from the stale humid air and overheated concrete.

Sorry that you have trouble sleeping. Our only problem is my wife runs the air conditioner during the day and the bedroom freezes at night.
This looks like a great place to spend some time.
Some people just don't understand -it's the humidity that makes it miserable, not the temperature itself. I'm so glad I retired to the mountains! :)
Nice shot though!
Try to stay cool.
It looks lovely there above the haze.
I had a similar sleeping problem last night. If I covered with the sheet, the humidity left it clinging and damp. If I tossed the sheet away, the breeze was just a touch too fresh.
dr.john: i hate air conditioning because it is always set too cold... but sometimes the humidity really gets unbearable...
carletta: indeed, humidity is the 'bitchy' part and sometimes really difficult... mountains are nice if you don't have daily obligations...
thank you
quilly: it was quite lovely... the last night was much better here, though... hope yours was, too
Is the haze caused by ozone in the air or does it come from pollution?
Here where I live, I can see clear across a large valley (at least 30km) when the weather is nice. But when the summer humidity and ozone kicks in, you can only see about a kilometer or two.
Right now we are having one of summer's fireworks. Nothing like a torrential downpour (and lightening) to clear the air!!
oh, and quilly?
that wasn't the breeze that was being fresh... (twas OC!!)
sauerkraut: i think it's a bit of both... the humidity in the air certainly contributes to the haze but it's more apparent over the urban areas...
the problem with the summer storms is they only last a few hours and it gets even sultrier afterwards..
ah, OC... i won't say a thing :o)
