  1. Most people are more familiar with the Hudson River near the Statue of Liberty (www.gigapan.org/gigapans/27276/), the George Washington Bridge (www.gigapan.org/gigapans/27277/ & www.gigapan.org/gigapans/27279/), or perhaps Bear Mountain (www.gigapan.org/gigapans/84829/), but less are familia...

  2. Unfortunately I couldn't get any closer to the wall to add Berti and Edi for scale, so you'll just have to take my word for the fact these garnets are about 5-10cm in diameter.

  3. Another detailed panorama of the Gore Mountain Quarry wall shot during a sunny interlude during the shooting of: www.gigapan.org/gigapans/86334/ Also a little more zoom than: www.gigapan.org/gigapans/86338/

  4. A complicted outcrop along Route 4 in Whitehall, NY.

  5. This cloudy morning it was at least as inspiring as the view in the opposite direction.

  6. A closeup of the roadcut opposite the Canada Lake Store. Carrnockite is a type of orthopyroxene-bearing granite, which gives this rock its green hue. Orthopyroxene (rather than biotite or hornblende) reflects the granulite facies conditions under which this rock was metamorphosed. Midway through this one the partl...

  8. This is a roadcut/drivewaycut along Shore Airport Road, just northeast of Ticonderoga, New York. My primary goal in shooting this macroGigaPan was to illustrate sedimentary structures including those spectacular weathered crossbeds near the bottom of this image. Can you make out any other interesting sedimentary stru...

  9. Sweeping panoramas are what the GigaPan excels at, so every once in a while you just have to climb a mountain and see as much real estate as you can. I wonder if Champ - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champ_%28legend%29 Will open in a new tab or window - is lurking out there somewhere?

  10. This GigaPan illustrates an exposure of the basal Cambrian Potsdam Sandstone nonconformably overlying Precambrian gneisses at the eastern edge of the Adirondack Mts uplift. My field assistants took time out from exploring this remarkable contact to pose for the GigaPan. Berti is standing directly on the unconformity ...
