During the day at the Flaming Mountains in Turpan China temperatures under the sun can get up to 65C, maybe more. When we were there it actually was 65C. That is something like 145F. Hot, very hot.

I think I like the donkey photos best. Donkey, he is my man.
ouffhhh…can’t imagine how hot are there…
That is quite ridiculously hot! Really interesting, great photos
