Robyn and I hiked back into Gold Canyon in Death Valley towards Red Cathedral.  When we got towards the back of the canyon, we climbed up the sandstone slope a bit and sat down to eat our lunch.  The sun was shining bright and I wanted to try to capture the full expanse of the view so I took out the Canon Powershot A520 and captured the images below. 

These images were then 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 8in high by 20in wide.  The compressed final JPG below is 57KB in size.  The original 150 dpi TIFF file is 73.1MB in size.
