This panorama was made in the early hours, about 5.30m. The sun had just risen in the east and the green tea rows are tinged with sunlight. The location is Kakegawa, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan (aka. The Home of Japanese Green Tea). The 2009 harvest season has begun with the first 'new tea' or 'shincha' cut been made on many of the rows in this panorama. The lightest colour rows have yet to be trimmed. The brown coloured rows have had all of the leaves cut in stages according to tea quality level. First cut leaves fetch the highest prices. Each row can be cut from 3~5 times. The final cut is often used in blended teas that have the lowest quality. One interesting point about this photo is that Mount Fuji is located off in the distance, however, weather conditions during harvest season hardly ever permit a clear shot. It's usually too hazy. Please have a look at my other panorama as it shows the leaves closer up.

(Perhaps equirectanglar panoramas are not suitable in GigaPan. I'm still test-driving) |
