Mt. Rainier on a hot and hazy August day, 2014.
SEMI-HIATUS -- After today until at least early October, I shall not be posting any personal pictures on this blog. A long hospitalization of my wife, thankfully ended with a good result, made selecting and editing photos difficult earlier in the summer, and I have no archive of ready-to-post photos. I shall be away from home for almost the entire month of September with visits planned to Norway, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, Newfoundland-Labrador and Quebec during that period. Preparing for the trip and recovering from it requires too much time to also edit photos. During the hiatus I shall continue to reblog photos and other materials I find of interest about the NW corner of North America.
By the way, the photo was deliberately made to look hazy using a rarely noticed feature of a camera I have since retired.

Did you know?
Hot air appears “wavy” because of light refraction!
Referred to as “heat haze”, the wavy air over a hot grill or a road surface in summer is caused by the convection of hot and cold air swirling around. Each different temperature of air has a different index of refraction, bending the light you see at different angles, causing anything you see through that heat haze to look distorted. You can observe this phenomenon at your next cookout or next summertime drive over hot pavement!
