Where to post this? If I put it in the Paddling area, only donating members would see it. If I put it in the UL forum (so we'd have a current post) - because that hammock looks pretty sheer - same limited viewing audience.
So here it is in General to inspire your fantasy.

Every day, the Bing page issues a new desktop (a.k.a. Wallpaper) worthy photo. This one was issued around July 23rd. You can go back a few photos but not that far back. Maybe there's another source.
In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.
Beautiful photo!
Is the fabric really that sheer? I feel like with a lot of hammock fabrics, if you shone a light through it at dusk, it would look similar.
My fantasy is that this is a beach and cool water is only steps away.

That looks pretty awesome. Hopefully they don't say where it is lest there be a hoard of influencers trying to take a picture.
Temps are no fun right now for NW folk. Sympathy for all the folk on the PCT right now. They thought they were done with the heat when they got out of the Mojave.
Did a little searching and you can find loads of nice hammock photos - including the one above that was taken in Florida - here:

The way my window was sized, the above hammock photo was about three-quarters down the page.
There is a description of the object and its location on the bottom right of the photo. When you download it, with the "download button", not a screen capture, it leaves just the MicroSoft watermark on the bottom right.
LowTech, You and me brother - not a lot of surf or swell in the High Desert. But at least I have a few Juniper trees. Or can head west 25 miles into the mountains.

i don't know, but I seem to recall from my time in Oracle, Az that if you walk far enough away the mirage ought to take care of it...dream on.Originally Posted by LowTech
I have the mtn option here as well, SoCal high desert, but then we're away from the area that has us working. When it was the worst here, 121° under my tarp, we did go up for a few nights.
Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how it's viewed, the death of my partner's life long best friend will have us going to the coast for a few days . . . and the yaks are definitely going w/ us.
I'll also be in Florida this winter building a tiny home for my mom and when I'm not working I'll be on the water paddling/hammock camping or in a fish house getting food that you don't find in the desert.

If I was in Oracle I could just go up the mtn or head north to the Salt river w/ my kayak for some river camping.
