Title: Hello from the Arizona desert
Post by: CS on November 28, 2016, 00:33:41: I have been thinking about joining this group, and finally made the decision to do it. The photography here is great, and the banter is friendly.

Cheers,

It's nice here now, but it was completely unreasonable only a couple of months ago. ;)

Landscape is a lot where you are and I hear your desert is big enough to power the planet with 24/7 solar?
Will you document this development with your camera when it might come one day?

All the best

Frank

I suppose the desert might be large enough to accommodate a lot of solar panels, but I'm afraid that it would be at the expense of blotting out the beauty of much of our landscape. In any event, at my age, I'm not likely to be around to see things on that scale.

Hi CS, welcome. Looking forward to a few John Ford Style Panoramas.

Sorry to disappoint, those scenes are more likely up in Northern Arizona/Southern Utah, the Monument Valley area. I'm in the central Arizona Sonoran desert area.

Thanks, Peter. I'm just recovering from a surgery, so my responses have not been timely. "Favorite state" eh, are you by chance a native of Arizona?
