Description Ugh...I'm old. When taking this picture today at Papago Park in Phoenix, the 70's tune Midnight at the Oasis kept popping in. But as you can see, it's NOT midnight, rather 100° heat

Unfortunately, this serene setting was interrupted by a couple of guys who thought they were cool by driving by with a booming stereo, scaring the ducks off. Yes, there really IS a shallow end of the gene pool.

Amazing picture. I wish we had places like that around here. But alas it's -10 degrees Celcius and about 2 feet of snow. Dammit, haha.

Cool to look around. Don't limit yourself with that stitching program... I am sure pointing the camera downwards would have given even more things to look at.

ahhhhh, I see. You like my panorama? You not kidding! Yours kicks butt!

I can't see any seams in yours though, was this done with a camera? Cool camera if so.

awesome photograph!

my only bitchy complaint is that i think that the people and powerlines really take away from the whole "oasis" feel of this. but it's impossible to take out the powerlines - well rationaly and it would take a while to get the people to go away.

but awesome shot. love the reflections. and i love how i can relate to the image because i've been there. i can recognize things

great job my friend

Great photo!

Don't feel too bad...I'm just as old, I remember the same song, and I can relate totally.

Wanna know the best revenge against guys and boom boxes? If you can, blast Classical music their way. I do it when I'm in the car, and the a$$h0le in front has a radio that you can hear all the way out your way.

I switch to the classical station and crank it. Hey, they might notice, they might not, but it's a bit of satisfaction for me, at least.

Awesome photo! Love the panoramic ones. Very clean and clear. Tiny bit of problems in the top right of the photo on the trees. Not sure what happened.

WOW....this is just beautiful! And it looks so clear and sharp. The reflections
on the water is such a nice touch. And the way you show these....you have to scroll over to see everything. I really like that about your pictures. I don't see that too often here.
Wonderful capture *wishing I could go there*
