There’s nothing cooler than some lazy summer river time, especially when the heat is on.

The scene almost makes one forget that as that sun sets over the Navesink, it’s a prelude to a scorcher. Ducks take a leisurely river float, boaters boat, and beached folks cast daydreams out with the tide — a collective drift into the sunset.

And when the sun comes up and the heat advisory is on, they all go back to a cool-down with river time (Click on one photo to enlarge and scroll to enjoy the view!).

Here’s the sizzling hot forecast for the next few days from the National Weather Service. Stay safe and cool! (Click to enlarge)
