Daily landscape and nature photography. Never AI. Currently in Arizona with a Sony a7cr. My other car is a locomotive.

That was last September, with a Fuji GFX50s2 + Fuji's GF mount 100-200mm telephoto (at the 100 end). It was an awesome combo, if a bit of a "knee-buckler" on long climbs lol

I rarely give shout-outs to my own prints, but this one came out "Pretty Good" :)

My DMs are always open if anyone ever fancies a print, otherwise mountainshots.squarespace.com

Engine 73 pulling a steam excursion through the cut at White Pass.

As someone that occasionally feels pretty "vintage", I can appreciate an old machine still getting the job done 😁

On the way to Massacre Falls in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona.

No water flowing in the waterfall location, but it was still a lovely morning in the #mountains

Someone made a joke on here about DJT kicking the bucket, and I almost had a heart attack (of joy) before I figured out it was a joke 😅

Phoenix had beautiful clouds all day after an overnight storm, but there were only a couple stragglers left by evening :)

That would have been the perfect time. It wasn't this crazy even when I lived in Flag around 2005-2010.
