Great day for a photo shoot......
I thought I would get out and shoot some new images of my 2015 Corvette C7 Stingray. This is an inexpensive base model 1LT with the Z51 Appearance Package that was offered in 2015. Living in southern New Mexico, it is rare that we get snowfall on our beautiful mountains. I thought what better beauty than the snowcapped mountains along with a beautiful Corvette C7 for some imagery today.
The lines and body of the C7 provide an excellent subject matter for any photographer. The C7 is one beautiful sports car. Camera was a Nikon D3200 22.4 MP DSLR w/ 24-120mm Nikkor 3.5 Lens & UV & Polarizing filter.
Our mountain range known as the Organ Mountains is the center-piece of the Organ Mountains Desert Peaks National Monument, located here in Las Cruces, NM. The mountain range is 4 miles from our back door, and is very majestic. The peaks are approximately 10,000 ft high. Our daily view is fantastic and ever changing with light, sunshine, clouds and shadows.
Here's just a few images from my 51 image photo shoot today.

Most men could only enjoy the avatar for a few minutes, while the Corvette C7 could last a lifetime.
Here in New Mexico, I live a modest life. I had to stand on the street corner selling pens for $1.00 each to buy the Corvette C7. I did earn enough to pay cash for the car.

Nice!
Your original photos, not the previous post which I believe is facetious.

Stunning pics 
I could barely see across the street today for all the mist and drizzle all day. Oh well, could have been snow.

Great...
I bought my 2014 Porsche 981 over in Tucson at Chapman the Porsche dealer. You live in a beautiful city. The Ventana Canyon area is stunning and my favorite place to spend a night or two.
I have been through Tucson many times heading to Phoenix to race my Formula F1000 at the old Firebird Raceway (now White Horse Pass Raceway) in Chandler (mile marker 160) and Phoenix International in Avondale.
Our first stop in Tucson was always the "In n Out Burger" on the east side, off I-10.
