Forget the RNC and enjoy a photo from DemoTex's Arizona fire lookout.

Shot late today with my new Sony 7A-RII with a Canon 24-70 IS L 2.8 lens and Metabones adaptor. Shot wide, and cropped in. Catch the sprite bolt to the right of the cloud base. I am so happy with this mirrorless camera!

...and rec your post, even before I read it. Your posts always take me away to a place I would never know and I don't want to be awed into forgetting to hit the rec button before I move on to the next thing.

Thank you for always sharing your view of the world, DemoTex.

A few weeks ago it was 117*F in Tucson. It was a very warm 84*F at 9000 feet. Hottest day I have seen yet. Tonight, I have the heater on.

How long do you think you'll be staying around at the lookout this season? I hope to make it up there some weekend soon.

I guess that's where the monsoon went. Sure isn't any of it around here.
