The Hottest Days


The windy, cool days of December have blown away. It's getting hotter by the hour. Isn't it perverse to be eating steamboat in these boiling hot days? I just want to roll the blinds down in my room and switch on the aircon and wake up after Chinese New Year.
This is one of my favourite photos by Irving Penn (can you call it a still life?), so very evocative of the drowsy heat of summer.
