Taken with a 500mm mirror lens, which has excessive vignetting unfortunately. But the details is really good! |

How many cacti can you find in this GigaPan? (Species, if not individual cactus plants.) Points for the most original cactus and caption. Perhaps a biologist could actually use this for some sort of genuine scientific cactus count?
Next, find the hikers. And maybe someone lucky will find the jackrabbit... |

Originally intended to be about twice as wide, my Gigapan Beta unit contracted the deadly Whirling Dervish/Spiral of Death disease upon completing column number 38. (Fear not, it's fixed now - a relatively low tech solution, I simply "unwound" the robot. Aaahh, the joys of Beta testing!)
Nonetheless, the resulting image is a compelling look at the Weber Sandstone which is folded into an anticline (south limb visible in the gigapan) that is cleaved by the downcutting Green River. Hogbacks of the yellow and red Park City Formation lap onto the south side of the Weber like waves breaking on a beach. The red siltstones of the Triassic Moenkopi Formation form a strike valley at the right of the image - to the west this strike valley is known as the Racetrack as it wraps around the nose of the plunging Split Mountain Anticline. |

On Tuesday morning, December 29, 2008 Virginia Gunderson drove me and my Gigapan up South Mountain onto property her great grandfather homesteaded in the 1860s. The view of Santa Paula is from about the same elevation as the pano I took of South Mountain a month or so earlier. The Santa Clara River is in the center with the Santa Paula Airport next to it. |

This is the view from our campsite on the second night out on a 7-day trip in the North Cascades. We had a great view of the Picket Range -- the most rugged terrain in all of Washington -- and great weather for all 7 days. Phenomenal trip! |
