I found a new toy... a photo-stitching tool called Hugin. A SourceForge product that does an awesome job of automating simple panoramic views from individual images that are reasonably related. This image is 17.5 MB and is the product of 4 - 8 MB photos of a sunrise. I was particularly interested in capturing the light gradation in the mountains. As it happens one of the images captured a Hawk in flight as well. Overall this made a great composition.
*** When you open the page it will take a while to load and the image will "collapse". Mouse over the lower right hand corner of the image and click the icon that appears to see the image full size. Use the scroll bars to move the panorama on screen. ***
Enjoy... Dave
