Panoramic Scenes

I use the term Panorama loosely in this gallery, since not all of these images are formatted in a wide aspect ratio typical of panoramas. The subject matter is “panoramic” for these images in that they display a dramatic wide field of view. whose panoramic feel hopefully is conveyed by the subject matter, if not the format.
