Your beauty is beyond compare

The photographs were taken on July 2nd, when I had no idea of the dry and hot summer ahead.

An updated version of the LX100 camera was announced recently. I'm using a second LX100. With the first I took over 115,000 photographs before I had to buy a new one (because of the dust problem). With the second one I have taken over 105,000 photographs and the dust problem hasn't yet got bad. Before the LX100 cameras I had an LX3 (203,000 photographs taken) and an LX5 (186,000 photographs taken). Thus I have taken over 609,000 photographs with Panasonic cameras so far. The LX100 II camera seems to be a competent upgrade, and if the current LX100 breaks down I know what camera to buy.
