Hot Air Balloon Ride

Grand Canyon

This last weekend I got bored and decided to do something different.

While we were there, I attempted to take a couple of panoramic photos using the Autostitch method (see the apartment image in one of my previous entries for more details).

I ended up snapping a grand total of 300 photos, which I then pieced together to form the following larger photos. Click on a photo below to view the larger version.
