  1. What does the man on the blue exercise ball see when he looks around the recording studio of the TWiT Cottage? See for yourself! If you log in on GigaPan.org you can take a "snapshot" and comment on items of interest around the studio. It might be interesting to see how many of these can be linked to references in...

  2. My apologies to those whose knowledge of the fierce territoriality of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds might make the above scene a perplexing distortion of reality. Rarely will the local male allow birds others than his mate to use a food source in his territory, so a feeding flock like this is impossible, and has a biolog...

  3. This is about two thirds of a 1900 shot panorama of Mount St. Helens and Spirit Lake that I shot last summer. Unfortunately, even with the new Stitch 1.0 and my 32-bit Windows XP machine maxed out on RAM, I still managed to crash the program with an "Out of RAM" error when trying to stitch the full panorama. Since I ...

  4. Pine-Oak-Heath-Sandplain Forest at Camp Johnson -- Forests like this are common south of Vermont, but restricted to a few locations within the state (see gigapan.org/gigapans/34970/ for another location). The distinguishing feature is the presence of pitch pine (Pinus rigida) which is near the northern limit o...

  5. As the Laurentide glacier retreated from the Champlain Valley 13,600 years ago, the ice damned the valley and Glacial Lake Vermont rose to about 170 m (550 feet) above sea level, which is the elevation of the camera. This sand and gravel was carried by an ice-marginal river that built kame terraces until it reached the...

  6. State Route 3 through the northern Adirondacks is know to geologists as "The Anorthosite Highway" because of its spectacular cuts throught the Marcy Massif anorthosite unit. This is the third of a series of three GigaPans I shot at this roadcut to illustate the anorthosite at a range of scales.

  7. Pine-Oak-Heath-Sandplain Forest, Salisbury, Vermont -- Due to the presence of pitch pine, this is one of the rarest forest communities in Vermont, known only from the deltaic sandplains of Colchester (gigapan.org/gigapans/30324/) and this stand in the Salisbury Town Forest. The parent material for the droughty,...

  8. Ever since I saw miao's GigaPan of "A city near Route 80" (www.gigapan.org/alpha/gigapans/15148/) I've been salivating at the chance to get back to Garrett Mountain to shoot a massive GigaPan from the same vantage point. The spot is very well suited for GigaPanning - an overlook with an unobstructed view and pl...

  9. Mesic Red Oak-Northern Hardwood Forest, Salisbury, Vermont -- This well-drained kame terrace in the Salisbury Town Forest supports a dry example of this forest type with three oak species. The forest community is distinguished by the absence of sugar maple, an important component of hardwood forests on less droughty s...

  10. There are several dozen examples of this forest community in Vermont, most of them less than a few hectares in size. This is the most recently discovered example. The community is distinguished by the presence of pitch pine, which reaches its northern range limit in Vermont, and occurs in only three community types i...
