GigaPans

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 Riv...

The Royal Gorge Bridge is a tourist attraction near Cañon City, Colorado, within a 360 acre (1.5 km²) theme park, hanging 1,053 feet (321 m) above the Arkansas River and billed as the highest suspension bridge in the world. The Royal Gorge Route Railroad runs under the bridge along the base of Royal Gorge. The bridge is 1260 feet (384 m) long and 18 feet (5 m) wide, with a wooden walkway with 1292 planks. The bridge is suspended from towers that are 150 feet (46 m) high.

The panorama is mad...

Aargh, another Rainbow Bug bites! That's two really bad Rainbow Bug stitching errors (this one and Dantes View - http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/52231/) and they come on two of my most highly anticipated GigaPans. I'll forgo writing up a thorough description of this one until such time as I can get it to stitch properly. I'll give you this teaser, though - the story of capturing this GigaPan involves a bear... and not just Smokey on my hat (http://www.gigapan.org/conversations/...

Authorized by the city of Canon City in 1929 the bridge is the highest suspension bridge over water in the world (1,053 feet). The river below is the Arkansas River. Note in the image the tourist train in the canyon and the wite-water rafters on the river. A helicopter is captured in three places as it does flight seeing. An aerial tram is seen in the far right of image. The image was caught with an Epic GigaPan and a Canon G10 having a 1.4X teleextender attached, giving an effective 200mm focal...

Six Mile bend on the Fraser River at Fountain gorge north of Lillooet, BC.

This is my first uploaded Gigapan!!! (on a dial-up, no less!) It took 9hr. 40min to upload.

About this area: The Fountain area of the Fraser has been inhabited by the local natives (Xaxli'p First Nation) for more than 8000 years. It's also one of the hottest and driest parts of BC with temps reaching 45C in midsummer.
The railway line in the lower foreground is CN, formerly part of the PGE which snakes...

this photo was taken in the very center. Stonehenge was built by Sam Hill, a road builder, as a memorial to those who died in World War I. Dedicated in 1918, the memorial wasn?t completed until 1930. Hill passed away soon after he finally saw his masterpiece completed. He was buried at the base of the bluff; but, because he wished to be left alone, there is no easy path to his resting place.

The Gunnison River has cut down through Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks in western Colorado to form one of the deepest gorges in North America. This morning shot captures the famous Painted Wall, so named for the many light colored granitic dikes that appear to some as an artists brush strokes on a canvas of dark metamorphic rocks. In fact, the granitic dikes are igneous intrusions into the older metamorphic rocks. A careful examination of such an exposure can be analyzed to determi...

This panorama was taken at dusk showing the Puente Nuevo that spans the El Tajo gorge and divides the new and the old town of Ronda.
