Lili,
know the feeling... I'm just tired although the wild variations of weather
here havent helped lately
I've forced myself to do a few pix, mainly to train.
I'm using the EVF on the GX100, works well.
When I get something good I'll be posting again!
all the best

Ugh, I am with you. I really really hate summer here in NYC. Hot, humid, polluted and the buildings just soak up the heat and radiate it all night. I know I am a humbug for that, but I love winter, so it balances out. Fall's the best though, so at least there is that to look forward to!

Lili,
like the first pic a lot. I downloaded a copy of raw therapee and I'm toying with that:-
One i took strolling about Seregno:-
Another of an Oleandra on my balcony:-
Both run through Raw Therapee , the buildings also run through ShiftN.
Raw therapee looks very good. Freeware.

Hi All,
Well we are waiting for some hot weather here in Belgium. I am sure that when it arrives I will feel much like you all do.
Take it easy!

Why don't you all come on up here to Maine and escape that heat? It's pretty nice here today, mid-70s with a few clouds to block the sun.
Even if it isn't the doldrums here, I now have a small sensor camera that I've started playing with. Here's a couple from this morning. The little Pentax will focus to within 1 cm!

Hiya, Lili. The heat is oppressive here as well, humidity enough to choke a horse. Always like your urban landscapes with the GRD though, these are great as usual.
Nice shots, Paul, also. I can almost smell the oleander. Tim, lovely macro and green tomatoes, yum.
We did get out for a short trip around Florida, encountered quite a bit of rain, but had one fairly sunny day at Daytona Beach:

(I love Palermo!) YOU MUST GO TO the underground crypt in Palermo, the Capuchin Catacombs. There are a bunch of mummified people in there. Use to be wealthy folks had their dead family members dried out (dehydrated, made into beef jerky) to preserve the body, and then they would occasionally go down into the crypt and brush the deceased's hair, dress them up for holidays, like dolls. They used to allow photography in there, maybe still do so take you camera if you go.

Only been to Palermo for work, during first Gulf War , and met some interesting people. Sicilian women are gorgeous, much better than looking at stiffs in a crypt!
