Shots in St. Augustine, FL
I have been lurking for weeks and continue to see such spectacularly wonderful photographs.
Here are a few taken in the oldest city in the United States, and a couple from the old Spanish San Marcos fort there.

More from the Arizona Mystery Castle. I think of this series as "Window Pains." This place is so strange it is painful to think about the years of junk collecting and construction, The the dark rainy day was just perfect. A7RII with FE 24-70 GM.

Wow. 12mm and that little distortion. Wood stack shot is fantastic. Not even sure the Loxis 21 can pull that off...and at 9 massive mmless wide.
This is surely blasphemy, but your new 12 looks better than the ZE 15...

Up next are a few shots wide open at f/2.8. MFD is literally a couple of inches from the subject and at f/2.8 blurring of the background is easily achieved. Some of these shots may not show critical sharpness as they were done handheld and I was in a bit of a hurry but it gives an indication of what's possible. In the last image, the lens was no more than 2 inches from the "Loxia" on the lens hood.
Edit: Oops, that third image was shot at f/11. How did that slip in there?

Contax 35-70/3.4, a7r. Got there a bit late in the season, grass was frost burned already.
#1 Usually de-sat the skies from this place, but left them intact in this one so viewers can see what 'thick' blue sky looks like at 4800m, with slightly 'peppy' 35-70 look added. Few small buildings below the far ridge. Vis of 40kms is common.
#2 CY 100-300 (on a99) to show palette compared with image #1. Focus is on tarchoks (prayer flags). Mntns are 5500m-7100m here, many are easy walk ups. Images looks flat, undramatic (near midday) but great hiking country. Almost all the entire part of the Earth above elevation of 4000m lies in Tibet - around a million square kilometres.

Special image, Joshua. The bones of the composition are great (the rocks, water, and angle toward the sun). but then what you did with the sunlight/flare and the movement of the surface of the water, and the location of the people on the rocks at the moment you took the picture make it unusual and special!
I really appreciate your kind words, Peter!
Here are two last images of migrating Monarch butterflies from the Central Coast of California. These were taken in the afternoon as the mercury rose.
The rise of temperature made them more active

Thanks Jim. Not sure about being better than the ZE15 yet but things are looking good. These were quick snaps with the new Laowa. I was encouraged by others' shots which showed little distortion and good colors. More testing in the coming days but so far, I'm liking what I see and I've missed having a fast wide prime,

Thank you, Peter!
Here is the continuation from Pfeiffer Beach. Based on my position, and I couldn't move more to the right to see the sunburst earlier nor to the left to follow the sunburst, which lasted maybe approximately a minute or two. As I mentioned it before, a lot of folks bunched up at the "good" location to get the peeking and setting sun through the opening. But, in addition to a few regular captures, I was able to do a single SRA. Here are two regularly captured images, shortly before and during the sunburst. That day, after a rain storm passed through, the sun was quite intense, fortunately.
Shortly before the sunburst appeared
