   I love panoramas! This is a great one. Really gives you that sense of vast, frozen wilderness.

   I’m frequently asked, what kind of whether we had – was this a bright sunny or an overcast morning? This photo proves, that the answer depends on which side of the world you look …

     Thats True! Oh, that IS you, isn’t it! I recognize the headband!

This is the largest panorama I have ever stitched together (from 32 individual photographs overlapping). Please click the image to view the whole panorama in a new window and scroll left to right. It shows the incredible lighting of dawn in one region of the bay and a stormy dark-grey cloudy area in the opposite direction. If you look carefully, you can see our boat and some other tourists exploring the expansive Pleneau Island. You may also be able to see some penguins on some of the rocky outcroppings where they nest. (photo taken in December 2009)
