Chiricahua
p.1 #1Chiricahua
This place wasn't on my radar, but I read a couple weeks ago that it had been made our newest national park (formerly a monument). I'd been itching for a reason to head to the desert, and this provided one. The storm was somewhat miserable, but I think the fog and rain added to the place.

Great shots! The fog definitely added to the effect. The first two are my favorites.

These are outstanding images, and yes the fog adds to those shots. I was totally unaware of this becoming and national park -- glad to see this was signed into law. It looks like it begs for some B&W capture, as well as color.
You did an excellent job of capturing the scenic beauty of this place -- I love the wide perspective shots and the colors are standout. That 12-45mm f/4 earned its keep -- almost makes me wish I had not sold mine. I only did so only because I have the 12-100mm f/4, so the two were redundant.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful images!

Nice pictures Doug! I like the first two with fog. Did not know that there is a new National Park. Thank you for posting.
