The Wide View

Since I got home about a week and a half ago, I've been meaning to put up another post about my trip. But rather than rambling I spent today putting together some panoramic shots I took.  That is to say that, using my Iphone, I took a bunch of contiguous photos and today I used a nifty program called Hugin to stitch them together.  Here are the results.

Kampala from the spire of the Qadaffi Mosque.  Don't be fooled, this photo is wrap around - probably not quite 270 degrees, but well over 180.

A Highlight of the trip, and easily one of my favorite all time spots - The Bulungula Backpackers in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.  Check out www.bulungula.com to get a sense.  This shot is probably about 270 degrees around.

The Beach at the mouth of the Bulungula River.  Nice place for a run.

 Sunset horseback ride through the community around the Bulungula.

Capetown from the top of Table Mountain. In the bay you can make out Robben Island, where Mandela was imprisoned for decades. If you're going to hike Table Mountain, I suggest packing a bottle of wine, a baguette, and a hunk of cheese. Picnic with a view.

 The Cape of Good Hope is on the left.

 A bit south of Capetown on the Atlantic Coast.

And one non-panorama for fun:

It was fun.
