Sun bleached/weathered

Introduction

The hot sun can be brutal. This time of year, you can see its effects wherever you look—from sunburned tourists to the cracks where seasonal ponds used to be, to the dry and weathered wood of unprotected structures. The cool thing about this otherwise uncool destruction is that it gives you lots of opportunities for photographs. Weathered surfaces are full of rich texture, and texture is infinitely photogenic.
