Panorama: UC Davis Picnic Day, California

One of my daughters went to the University of California at Davis. UC Davis has a wonderful campus and some great traditions that we got to learn about. One of the best is “Picnic Day” in the spring, full of parades, activities, food, and fun. Of these, my favorite was the “Battle Of The Bands,” held in the amphitheater-like park next to the river that runs through the campus. The year I was there the participants were the UC Davis band-ah, the UC Irvine Anteater band (my alma mater and that of my other daughter), the UC Berkeley band, the “legendaryStanford Marching Band, and I think one other that I can’t recall. Whatever. It went on for hours and was fantastic. This panoramic picture was taken in April, 2011. (Click to enlarge.)

This panorama comes from seven images of 2304 x 3456 pixels (8 megapixels) taken with a Canon Rebel XT DSLR, combined into an image of 8924 x 3337 pixels (29.7 megapixels).

If you get to go to Picnic Day, have fun at the Battle of the Bands (remember to bring sunscreen!), and say hello to Gunrock for me!
