Lion's Head at Staunton State Park in Colorado. The massive rock face lit up by the rising sun. I shot this with the Loxia 85. I was glad I added it to my bag instead of the FE 55 but it made the 11 mile hike a bit tougher.

A7RIV with my Canon 400 DO II and 1.4X III. On the in flight shots, it didn't miss a shot, no matter how far she got.

A classic Joshua, sorry for the weather that didn't play.
Thank you, Marcus! Well, the weather is beyond everybody's control... I am not sure where your location is but do you know where I took that image? I was there many times before, even back then in the 1980's when I lived there but, this kind of view, away from the windmills, is something I discovered some 2 years ago.

Hi Joshua, i know very well where this is taken (Zaanse Schans). This area has many traditional houses and windmills. To me as a Dutch person, it feels more like a theme park for tourists. Not to bring down the beauty of the area because it is very nice to see.

Haha, I see your point. But since the windmills and houses are genuine although renovated and maintained, I consider that area to be more like an open-air museum. Yes, tourists can be a double sword edge. Before the global virus scare, some folks complained about the area being inundated by (mostly Asian, I leave out the specific county here) tourists. Now, they complain about the local economic impact due to the lack of tourists in that and other touristic places.
FYI, I use to take my bike to go that place from where I used to live in Zaandam, again, in the late 1970's to early 1980's.

Like you said, it's a double edged sword. But i don't earn my money from tourists so i don't fancy them, unless they are members on FM.
Zaandam is a nice city, i live in the south (Breda).
P.s. another place in The Netherlands that tourists want to see badly:
?t=268
Playing with the 16-70 on the A7RII, it'll work for times I use a zoom. Also trying to get some mojo back... haven't been motivated to shoot a lot recently...
