Last week's search on "chasm" discovered the Amazing Link below the image. The image is also of Elves Chasm on the Colorado River.

The image is from this part of the Web site (the author holds landscape photography workshops -- and he appears to be quite good)

The 25-Year Dream

And here is the Amazing Link. It's a full 360-degree panorama of Elves Chasm. It's one of the most remarkable images I've ever seen. BEFORE YOU CLICK: the panorama expands the browser to full screen and requires Quicktime. And it's a big image.

Beautiful. I tried to do the 360 panoramic view thingie, but I don't have the necessary software on my work pc.

How bout it, Cog. If only the time and money. Well, I got the time, just not the money. Guess that is what the afterlife is for, right?

Ping to view at home
