107 Degrees

107 Degrees:

In early September 2022, a long-lasting heat dome brought scorching temperatures to California that set all-time record highs. This image, taken at a community pool in Sleepy Hallow, Marin, is part of a series called Boiling Point. Most homes in Northern California don't have air conditioning, so this series is about people trying to deal with the searing heat and find a way to cool off during the triple digit weather.
