Wow, amazing ground shots!

Real world color and texture!

Interesting scenery textures.  How about some details?  Nice

 

Edit:  OOops!  Just read your details.  Next time I'll look closer.  Again, nice textures.

Great job ... those are very realistic ground textures.

How does the desert vegetation change in autumn actually? Is it greener or more arid? I always asumed that there is less water in summer, but I haven't any real clue ...

 

Anybody live in that area and can give some first-hand observation?

Since it's photoreal scenery it shouldn't change at all.  Sure would be nice if the photoreal guys figured a way to do it though.

I meant in real life, because I don't really know if US deserts get greener in winter or not.

 

Photoreal with seasons sure would be great!

The deserts are green whenever precipitation occurs. Rain in December -> small little green grass may appear. Nicest time is spring and autumn. During late winter everything is kind of sleeping and a little grey. Most flowers in spring, some in autumn. During spring some areas are a blanket of wildflowers (Sonoran Desert). Incredible. Mohave is another story. Much dryer. And summer is waaaay too hot in all of them

 

However you won't notice much difference from the air. Maybe a shimmer of green. I was more referring to the haze. But it's a very good question!

Thanks N330DG!
