Stifling Heat Wave Settles Over New York City

NEW YORK, NY - JULY 17: Volunteers help paint a mural along a roadway barrier on July 17, 2013 in the Rockaway neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City. The project, which was put together by New York City Parks, invited artists to submit visions for how to reimagine ordinary objects in an effort to re-vamp the Superstorm Sandy damaged neighborhood; three final artists were chosen.
