The second and third desert photos scared me! I'm along the Arizona border with Mexighanistan and it's 117 degrees as I write this. YIKES!! Great shots!

All great shots, but the Swan in the pond's waves are special for me. Thanks for sharing, and I am now torn between the KP and the new K3iii..!

BTW... our mini heat wave in Cleveland broke, and we are enjoying some nice night time temps in the mid 60's...!!

Thanks for ur feedback - I just bought the KP about a month back after debating on a few different cameras and am pretty pleased w it.

Had no idea they would discontinue the thing. Now the price is even higher than it was by quite a lot.

I dont know the K3 iii

For $1000.00 + though I might have bought the K 3 Mark 1. Well I guess the price on it went up too.

Wow the Sixties sounds like heaven on Earth to us here baking in the desert. Good Luck

I like the second shot the most. That scenery is not something I can see everyday here in Greece, it's beautiful in a different way.

The photo of the 1989 swan is very different in a good way than the photos with digital cameras. The shadows are very realistic ...

Wow Greece - a long way - thanks for looking at the pics

No lack of desert scenery in this part of the US - its one of my favorite things - you can see more desert scenes Ive shot at my site markgoldstein.photoshelter.com

Just click on the gallery Southwest Desert Scenery.

Hows the weather in Greece - totally hot here.

I love Boston any time of year, and the Common is a great place for all sorts of photography.

I like the American Southwestern deserts, so much prettier than the Arabian deserts, but I don't care for the heat in high summer. in 2019 my wife and I went from Arizona through Nevada and Utah to Colorado, and loved the scenery, and I can't wait to return.

Yes, it is, though I have found plenty of places on the east side of the Mississippi that offer gorgeous landscapes as well.
