    Very cool stuff! The Bow certainly dominates the skyline. So quintessentially Calgary too. You really get the feeling of the city on the prairie from this photo and of course that Chinook arch is just wonderful.

    well that can't be Calgary because I can't see the Tower....
    oh wait, I think I see it.

    I do really like the shot! I love how captured the rural-urban transition.

    Great pano, Greg. Sell it to Nanji for promotional purposes. Did you shoot this using your new head?

    Very cool. I love the detail on this. How big is the original? If you browse around you can see a fellow out on a smoke break in the bottom right.

    The original is about 84 mega-pixel image. Just a little bigger than what Flickr will host.

    Great pano. Love the contrast of the city in the background and the prairie grass in the foreground.
