This is an image that works best at the highest resolution. The Rodenstock 138mm lens has extraordinary edge-to-edge sharpness and a general lack of distortion that makes it especially well suited to wide stitched panoramas like this one.The effect is sort like Where's Waldo; the whole is shown mainly to invite you into the details.

    I am, by the way, a terrible hiking partner and dinner guest. If there's something interesting on the horizon or view out the window that catches my eye, I tend to reflexively set up the tripod* and geek out in my own little world while everyone else is trying to move on down the trail or sit down to eat.* (Yes, I carry a tripod on hikes and to dinner parties. See above.)

    @mattblaze You down wit' ADD YEAH YOU KNOW ME!The specific variant (assuming I even have the condition correct, it had parody-fit meter, and I have it myself) of this also applies to writers who have to scribble down some bitchin' idea that popped up (I am not a writer, but I am married to one). And like writing It Is Work(TM) for sure.
