I find there’s a lot to like about the American midwest. In particular, I like a lot of things around central Ohio. I like the fall colors. Combine all of that…
This panoramic picture was taken in October, 2009. (Click to enlarge.) My kids had been wonderful enough to send me to a favorite convention (Ohio Valley Filk Fest) in Columbus for my Christmas present. My son was able to meet me there for a great weekend. While there we also went to see the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, at Wright-Patterson AFB. It was a couple of weeks after the peak fall foliage — that time when it’s not quite all brown yet, but not quite still ablaze in fall colors. The last gasp of fall, with winter on the horizon. (Literally, from the looks of it.)
This panorama comes from seventeen images of 3888 x 2592 pixels (10 megapixels each) taken with a Canon Rebel XTi DSLR, combined into an image of 37,158 x 2576 pixels (95.7 megapixels).
It was a grey and gloomy day, and shows well just how flat it can be in this part of the country. Get up on a bluff that’s a hundred feet high and you can just about see into the next state. I might end up liking some place like Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois, but I might miss the mountains at the same time.
