Excellent image. Does cause one to pause and think. It's interesting in some ways because here brick is more often faux because it is expensive here--but then central air is quite common.

Nice find! It has been a hot summer!

Whatever works Karen. Looks like trial and error found just the right height.

Hey, works for me :) In Bluefield, we used the windows instead of ac a lot of times. Especially at night, it was wonderful! Karen, another great find and a great photo.

A very dramatic image of how some of us take lifes little pleasures for granted. Great documentary image!

What ever works when it's this hot.

Excellent find Karen. You have a remarkable eye for location the oddball and heartbreaking turns of life.

It is so hot everywhere this year.
We do not have a/c either but keep the windows shut and turn the ceiling fans on . Seems like it would get much hotter with the windows open.

I didn't have air conditioning until I became an adult.
Now, I consider it an essential part of life.
It is easy to forget that most people in the world don't have that luxury.

Not only inconvenient, but very dangerous. We need to be very sensitive to those without any type of relief.

Oh, well. My basement is still cool - as I never turn my A/C on either!

I was on WordBiz last night playing Scrabble to put off finishing my work for today's workshop. There was a discussion going on about the cost of electricity in Italy. Someone said that friends don't even use lights or TV because they can't afford it.

This does seem to be an unbearably hot summer everywhere. I hope the nights are cool.
