Against my better judgment and my wife’s wishes, I went to play a footy game this evening. When I got to the pitch, my pocket thermometer registered 116°F. That’s bloody hot no matter where you are. And here I am a 40+, overweight middle-aged man going willingly into this frying pan to run around for 90 minutes. I’m getting too old for this.
This was an exceptionally difficult photo to take, surprisingly. I must have snapped 8 or 9 before I got the composition just so. Even still I had to run some levels on it in Photoshop for visibilities sake.
BTW, we won the game 3-nil.
Cheers.
