Hot as Vulcan - a photo on Flickriver

Hot as Vulcan

© Susanne Hupfer; All Rights Reserved

This is taken at Mono Lake, in the Eastern Sierras of California. The haze in the sky comes from forest fire smoke that had blown over from Yosemite. The redness (more of an artistic choice than anything you could see with the naked eye) reminded me of alien planets.

In Star Trek lore, planet Vulcan was located in the Alpha Quadrant.

"Vulcan had a considerably higher gravity, thinner atmosphere, and hotter temperatures than Earth. Its climate was generally harsh, with most of the surface consisting of large deserts or mountain ranges, along with scattered small seas. Desert areas were prone to large amounts of heat, light, and electrical sand fire storms. By the mid-23rd century, the phrase Hot as Vulcan had become part of the vernacular."
