This image was taken on a side road off of Interstate 15 near Baker, CA.  We were returnning from Robyn's parents house in Las Vegas shortly after Christmas and the sunset was particularly astonishing.  The individual slices were taken using a Canon Powershot A520.  They were then subsequently stitched together using a variety of commercial (shareware) software packages.  Each image has been reduced in resolution from the original 150 dpi to 72 dpi.  In the original 150 dpi, the final composite produces a high quality printout 7in high by 23in wide.  The compressed final JPG below is 923KB in size.  The original 150 dpi TIFF file is 67MB in size.
