One of the many panoramic images captured during the recent vacation. Taken from the rim walk near Mather point, this view pans left to right from the cliffs near the Grand Canyon Village to Damsel strolling the rim walk looking for her next photographic target.

In the not too distant future, we’re going to be seeing places like this . . .

We can hardly wait.
When you visit the Long Beach Harbor, the magnificent Queen Mary dominates the view. A pelican soars in the foreground and the dome, once home to the ‘Spruce Goose,’ looms behind the vessel.
Taken from Pierpoint Landing adjacent to Rainbow Harbor. Click for a panoramic view of the ship.
UPDATE: Post title changed from HMS Queen Mary to RMS Queen Mary. Thanks to Jonathan for pointing out the error.
While we were in Avalon, I snapped this panoramic view from our hotel room balcony. Click the image below for the full-sized panorama.
Camera: Canon A710s. Software: ZoomBrowser Stitch.
I’m introducing a new feature to our weblog – a viewer for panoramic images. The camera I use, a Canon A710-IS, has a panoramic image mode that allows you to take a series of photos and ‘stitch’ them together using a software tool that comes with the camera.
During our vacation last week, I took several of these panoramic images for my own enjoyment, and thought I would share some of them here on the website. One such image was this 270° panorama taken at Canyon de Chelly in Northeastern Arizona on the Navajo Nation. Sweeping from left to right, you can see remains of an ancient cliff dwelling, fertile farmland on the canyon floor, immense rocky pillars and a mountain range in New Mexico in the distance.
