Hi Stan, I had to stop by for some more insiration from your wonderful collection of images! This is just fantastic, I love this type shot! I am planning a trip to the Upper Uintah Mountains here in Utah, where you can see for miles upon miles of endless mountain tops. Hopefully we can capture some wonderful sunsets as you have captured here...

Thanks so much for your continued support of my images!

Much Aloha my friend!

Good morning, Darryl, and thanks very much for your very kind response to this which I truly appreciate! I'm going to head back to the south side of the island one day this week to see if I can capture a nice pano of a sunset! Will look forward to your shots of the Uintah Mountains and know there will be other exquisite panos from that site coming from you! Much good luck to you with them!
Have a very Merry Christmas and the best to you and your family!!
