Show and Tell

For Inspiration Avenue's show and tell challenge - Something old.

I stitched together this panorama of New York Harbor from eight images shot in rapid succession from the deck of a Staten Island ferry in October 2011.  It captures roughly a five-mile span.  The hazy day made everything silvery except the orange ferry churning in the opposite direction.  The shadows of clouds darken areas of the water between the ships and barges and their wakes.  A seagull looks kind of like a UFO at this small size.

On the left is Port Jersey, then Paulus Hook, Ellis Island, Jersey City, the Statue of Liberty, the Hudson River, lower Manhattan Island, the East River, and Governors Island at the right along Brooklyn's shore.

Clicking the image will open a slightly more detailed version, but I'm afraid panos aren't meant for Blogspot.

Thanks for stopping by.
