This was taken in Key Biscayane looking back at downtown Miami in the distance. The park closed at sunset and the police prevented me from getting in another shot! The sun turn even more dramatic after a few more minutes as I was forced to leave!

View from the pier facing north this time. A warm sunny day clearly! Hand-held reverse-S-shaped sweep starting top left going along the horizon, with 1 second continuous shutter. It took about 2 minutes (104 source images). The bizarre overlaps are what Hugin did automatically.
Assembled in Hugin 0.7.0 (while waiting for a Mac build of 0.8.0, please hurry ;) This should keep you busy. Enjoy! |

This panorama records a scene which may never be seen again in the near future. In recent years, a colony of harbor seals has reclaimed it's traditional haul out site on La Jolla's Casa Beach, creating an ideal situation for viewing natural seal behavior. Unfortunately for the seals and the thousands of people who are delighted by them, a woman has successfully brought a lawsuit through the California courts to assert her right to use the beach and force the city of San Diego to dredge it to evict the seals. Their only hope now is that the Federal Marine Mammal Protection Act will trump the state court rulings and allow them this one small patch of sand.

Beach Volleyball got its start on the sands of Manhattan Beach. This is #3 of my little AVP Manhattan Beach Open 2009 vingnette.
