See the Sizzle: Infrared Photos Reveal the Brutal Urban Heatscape

When summer temperatures rise to uncomfortable levels, cities take a bigger beating than the rest of the landscape. This urban heat effect is especially brutal in big, dense, concrete-dominated cities like New York. Armed with a thermal imaging camera that detects infrared radiation, artist Nickolay Lamm spent the day in NYC capturing the city's heat signatures on August 15, 2013. The results are a compelling illustration of what it feels like to be there in the summer.
