Heat Wave

Friday afternoon was a scorcher. Upwards on 100˚F. Friday morning it was decided that Saturday's lede was going to be a story about the heat. I thought about going to a local store to find people purchasing air conditioners and going home with them to photograph the installation. I scoped out a skatepark that borders a river, but no one was there. Although it was an obvious pick, I ended up heading to Lake Winnipesaukee in the hopes of finding someone on the water wake boarding or water skiing. Instead, I came across this family who took a break for lunch at one of the marinas and then took a dip.

I thought about putting this in as secondary, but it was too similar to the first image and it wasn't composed well.
