Beautiful shots. The saturation looks like Velvia slide film.

Did you use the Landscape picture style in-camera?

Here's one from December 26 in the North Mountain preserve in Phoenix. What you're seeing there is snow falling in Carefree and other areas north of the city.

Great landscapes.

Upward, sorry I didn't reply sooner. No, I don't use the landscape automatic style, as it over-exposes the images too much for my taste. Aperture-priority is my favored shooting mode for landscapes, with -1 to -2 exposure compensation.
