The weather has been brutally hot for the last several weeks here in the Midwestern US. The image of this boy was taken on a day when afternoon temperatures were in excess of 100 degrees F. An Alton firefighter placed a firehose with a nozzle set to spray in an open area next the Riverfront Amphitheater. As the sun started to set there was a concert and fireworks in celebration of the 4th of July.
