Another panorama, this time horizontal, from Turkey. This is of Cappadocia, in central Turkey, taken from the edge of a cliff (you can probably tell from the shots) on a not-so-well-traveled trail we hiked in the historical park and Unesco World Heritage Site in Goreme.

Here’s another panorama from pictures taken from the top of Uchisar Castle.
If you’ve been by Yellahoose to see the photos there you know that we very highly recommend visiting Goreme.
This is a stitched vertical panorama taken inside the Blue Mosque in Istanbul.

The pano sort of communicates the scale of the interior of the mosque, but… like most places we saw in Turkey and had known or read about before we went seeing them these places definitely left you with a loss for words. Ayasofya is the most obvious structure that will leave you feeling literally and figuratively much, much, much smaller. The Blue Mosque, overlooking the Sultanahmet neighborhood where we stayed and a huge visual presence from the rooftop patio of our hotel, was another.
Here’s another panorama made from pictures taken inside the Ayasofya.
This was done with a (relatively) cheap Canon OneShot digital camera, and the images were touched up in Photoshop and stitched using DoubleTake, which I bought over the Internet while in Cappadocia. (And while talking via Skype with my youngest brother while late afternoon call-to-prayers where being sung out in Goreme, in the valley below the inn we were staying.) (Not that I spent any time on the Internet.)
Cleverer title might have been “Cloudy Water Beneath Commercial St. Wharf.”
The Desert of Maine provides an interesting historical and geological lesson about Maine. Plus, kids can hunt for gemstones at the end of the tour!
Taken from Flatbread’s “holding pen” on deck for people waiting to eat.
(Flatbread’s got good pizza — I mean that!)
This was taken in same series of brownfield pictures I did behind Morrill’s Corner.
Morrill’s is notorious, I suppose, for it’s traffic bottleneck, especially after 4 PM when a freight train usually cuts off traffic at Forest Ave. Walton St. and Allen Ave. for 10-15 minutes. People want to speed to/from Windham and other towns off of Route 302. It would be nicer if there were a plan to do a kind of small town center at Morrill’s. Granted, that would do much for the traffic here.
There are big warehouse spaces, looks to me like they’re underused if used at all, off Read Street.
There was to be a Stop & Shop and condo development at Morrill’s, off Allen Avenue. But my understand was that Stop & Shop had pulled out of the state. If anyone knows more about this project, email.
This is another photo from our 2003 trip. On this trip, my Minolta film camera died! Thank goodness I had my little digital point-and-shoot with me. It saved the trip!
Here is the Ha’penny Bridge over the River Liffey, running through the middle of Dublin. A pedestrian bridge, its official name is the Liffey Bridge.
Way, way back in 2003 we visited Dublin for a few days in January. This is the Graduates Memorial Building at Trinity College, which is also the home of the famous Book of Kells.
Concord and Nevens Streets behind Woodford’s Corner.
