A most different feel than your sunset at the same location. Two different moods. I like seeing both.
I wonder how many people will know that this is the scene of the Kansas City Massacre?
Best wishes,
Dave

It's truly gorgeous, Michael, and inspiring. I don't think it could be improved in any way...I just couldn't resist teasing you. *grin*

One minor observance, Michael: I do think Toto could have been captured just a bit more clearly. Not a complaint, you understand...still, perhaps you could take the shot one more time and hold the camera just a bit steadier. Does it have a zoom lens? Or maybe you could lean over the railing just a bit...

Thank you.
I learned something new today. Welcome to Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri, USA.
Uppsala (older spelling Upsala) 59°51′N 17°38′E is a Swedish City in central Sweden, located about 70 km north of Stockholm. It is the fourth largest city in Sweden with its 130,000 inhabitants; including immediate surroundings, Uppsala Municipality amounts to 180,000.
Uppsala is the capital of Uppsala County (Uppsala län), and Sweden's ecclesiastical centre, being the seat of Sweden's archbishop since 1164.

Toto is in the single lit room apart from the stairwell lights in the Western Auto Building. Can you see him?

Hugo -
Nothing will probably ever top the Fall shot. Nothing. The grass had been cut that day, and right at sunset a rain storm moved in over the city, with a slight rainbow on the right. The wind was blowing the flags at full spread, and there was only 6 minutes where the sun broke through the sky.
Pure luck. Pure luck. And it probably will not repeat.
------------------------------
The winter scene is pure planning - one major storm usually hits a year, and you have to get in right after it at sunset or first light before there are tracks in the snow. You can get the full story from the original post, but this time I knew what I was doing: about 20 shots to stitch rather than 7 or 8 resulted in a clearer and larger image, and the dawn light on the snow with the holiday lights (see the wreaths in the windows) was perfect.
I like the subtle blue and purples in this one, compared to the overwhelming and saturated orange and deep reds in the other.
Since winter is first light, and fall is sunset, I'm thinking that Spring will be taken at dawn, and summer should be a "magic hour" shot right before sunset. Together the seasons will represent a day across a year in KC.

Hi Michael, You nailed this one spot on! I love this new pano function. The two go so well together, yet I somehow prefer the summer version. but only a minute difference...:)
Cheers,
Hugo

Thanks Jason -
Someone has both prints and they are framing them together, but so far no one has bought both large scale prints for seperate frames. I think they would look great as well.
I'm hoping to get Spring and Summer completed so I have all 4 seasons.
