This week’s travel theme is height. Fortunately, Kongo was atop New York’s Top of the Rock yesterday evening and he took this three-frame panorama of Manhattan looking south shortly before sunset. The Empire State Building is left-center with Freedom Plaza and downtown in the background. The Hudson River is on the right. See more height images at Ailsa’s Where’s My Backpack. Travel safe. Have fun. Continue reading Ailsa’s Travel Theme: Height
This image combines three frames taken at roughly the same time as the previous post but give a much broader perspective of the San Diego skyline from Coronado Island. The images were stitched together with Photoshop Elements. Travel safe. Have fun. Continue reading Panoramic Postcard
