Californian sun.
Warm, strong, constant.
Beating down on still pale skin.
Fuelling long evenings of food and beer.
Illuminating the hills, browning the grass.
But no respite or break, shade commanding a premium.
Doesn’t stop the running of course.
Crazy fool.

Never knew you were so poetic! Great pic. I like the feelings it conveys. I want to say very “American” if that makes sense.

I never used to understand people that ran on holiday – I do get it these days though. Lovely picture.

Great photo, captures the atmosphere described in words well! I’m on the other coast and it’s been awfully hot here too – I attempted to run, too hot for me!
