Thanks, John. The positive responses here are most satisfying, especially given the high level of skills apparent on this site.
By far, it’s the words that are difficult. The pictures are easy by comparison.
Many (most, even) of the images are from my Samsung S9 phone. Several years on, it continues to amaze me. The rest are from my D800’s, both of which are far better photographers than I am.
The D800-sourced panos were stitched in LRCC. Spark’s image compression process mangles the panos on import, resulting in lots of artifacts that I can’t control. The pano of Frito (the van), the church and the horse cart shows this to extreme, as do the white line highway markings elsewhere.
I was lucky in several instances with the weather. I’ve come to understand that most landscape photos are really weather photos.
And, of course, Frito makes it possible to “be there”.
Again, thanks!
