Taken from Nottingham Castle. It was such a hot day that the image is not the sharpest due to "heat haze". Still quite happy for first attempt. Took 15 hours to stitch using Autopano Giga and was shot with Nikon D300 on Orion/Merlin mount - controlled by Papywizard |

University of Guelph - Dairy Bush - 25 - Feb 10 2010
We had some snow today and last night, but it remains a very poor winter for snow accumulation here in Guelph. It will probably stay for a while though - the next week's forecast is for seasonable temperatures (Highs of -4C, lows of -10C). Last week's GigaPan at: http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/42066/ Next week's GigaPan at: http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/43081/ |

This forestry lookout at Cornwall Mountain west of Ashcroft, BC allows fire spotters an unobstructed view in all directions for more than 60 miles. Elevation 2036 meters or 6680 feet. Surprising enough, a forest fire ravaged the eastern slope of the mountain a few years ago and came within 500 meters of the tower itself. |

One of the Mount Rainier's most famous attractions, 168-foot Narada Falls, offers visitors exquisite views. Veiling over a wall of basalt, this glacier fed falls drops in a lacy display stretching over 75 feet at its peak flow. Those looking for more adventure will enjoy the nine mile Narada Falls Trail meandering through old growth forests, with views of Carter and Madcap Falls as well as its namesake falls. |
