Here is a major intersection in the arctic village of Selawik Alaska.
Selawik, an Inupiat village with a population of about 1000 people, is located right on the Arctic Circle in Alaska's Northwest Arctic Burough. Among its many charms, perhaps the most facinating is that Selawik is a village without paved roads. The only strip of gravel road that I know of is about two tenths of a mile long and runs between the clinic and the wind farm. The rest of the community is connected by board roads like these. In summer, if you step off of the boards, you will sink into the tundra, or in some places, you will find yourself shin deep in the swamp. Winter solves the problem nicely as frozen ground connects everything, and sno-mobiles can go just about anywhere. This intersection is a lot quieter because we don't use the bridges when the rivers are frozen. This 4-way intersection is located just before the entrance to the Rainbow Bridge. The board road is used by pederstians, and ATV's, and is showing serious signs of wear and tear. The patches and gaps in the road have become serious hazards. On the right side of this panorama is a glimpse of the new board road, which is higher and wider than the old road. The boards of the new road are placed longitudinally, not across the road like the roads to this intersection. It will be interesting to see how the new design works. Along side the board roads are the utility pipes, power poles and some of the buildings where the people of Selawik live and work. In the vegetation you will see some cast off items from years and maybe decades past. This 26-frame panorama was photographed at the end of the Selawik summer with a Nikon D80 and stitched with Autopano Pro. |

This is a gigapan I took from the Rankin Bridge of Braddock, PA. It was taken right before the torrential downpour that flooded Millvalle and reportedly produced a tornado that touched down in downtown Pittsburgh. The before-the-rain-haze might not make such a good photo, huh?

For comparison, I took two gigapans from this location: one with my A640, and one with the CREATE lab's SD800. This is the result of the latter. The exposure seems better on this one... :-( |
