Beyond happy with today's delivery. I've wanted this model for over 2 years, but every time I had it in the cart I talked myself out of it. So this time it stayed in as a late birthday present to myself.

Panoramas From the Road

Before we get into the meat of this post, if you're viewing this on a mobile device, these photos really don't translate that well on it. These are large panoramic photos and really need a large screen to do them justice. Now on with the post.

Occasionally during my Eastern Sierra trip I had the idea to take panoramas to try and take in the full view of what I was seeing and feeling.

I was lucky enough to arrive here during their opening week for the season, with wonderful weather.
