2008 Panorama: Sugarloaf Sky

I like to stay busy. There is always somewhere to go, something to do, someone to see. I like it that way. When the dark-days of winter come and my work keeps me from the bright skies of adventure, I sit in my studio and review old photos. It is these times that I appreciate the luxury of my past year of adventure. Today I reviewed all my panoramas from 2008. There are too many to post, but I made a collection that should have made the front page of Trailpixie.net. Over the next few days, I will post more than a dozen images that stitched together in time, represent my personal panorama of 2008. This day had a deep, blue sky, crispness in the air with perfect, puffy, white clouds. We set-out for a short hike that turned into a six mile excursion. We were hungry at the end because we didn't bring any snacks, but the day was glorious and our lungs were filled with the cool winter winds. This image was made in January at Sugarloaf Mountain near Frederick, Maryland. It may not look much like a panorama, but is comprised of thirteen images taken looking straight towards the sky. The low-angled sunlight of winter made this 360 degree panoramic possible. It was an experiment that went well.
