Description The tourist shot. Lots and lots of people stops here every year to watch/take pictures of this spectacular view of Trollstigen - The Troll Ladder (more info here: [link] )
I wanted to document it as well, although I choose to do a vertical panorama, in this case cropped to a square in the end to try and show how huge this valley really is. This one containing 5 [][][][][] shots.
We went down those hairpins and curvy roads below after this stop, not the easiest thing to do with a huge motor home, recreational vehicle or whatever its called.

Submitted a larger version than usual, full view...
Cheers!

Dayumn!

Thanks for uploading a large size of this. It really adds to the sheer size of the valley, as well as it draws the viewer in more.

What an amazing capture!

=kayaksailor was kind enough to share this with me, after seeing the shot by *Biutz in my latest journal on my front page [link] and reading my comments about thinking of driving this in our motorhome

Great shot, sir, and beautifully constructed pano (no sign of the joins anywhere!)

I imagine it was quite a drive along that road in a motorhome. Not for the faint-hearted!

Thank you!
The secret making panos like this is to take a lot of pics to make it easier for the program to match the pictures when merging them together., and of course with the help of a tripod.

Wow. Those are some pretty severe rises and falls there. I'm surprised they were able to build roads at all!

Quite the dynamic capture
