Rio Grande and Ute Mountain
Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, NM

Something different this time for #SaturdayScenery This is a "still" from a full 360º aerial panorama that can be viewed here: https://kuula.co/post/5Jvxm

You have to view the pano to actually see Ute Mountain and look along the gorge. If I get positive feedback I will do this again on Saturdays. If not... oh, well.

H/T @Ordnance Survey
“Britain's map has changed a lot over the years - and so has the way it's made.
Meet Brian and Will, OS Surveyors from different generations, sharing how surveying has evolved and what it means to help map Great Britain. Here's part one of their story.
From long days in the field with paper maps and handwritten notes to modern GPS and digital technology, surveying has come a long way. But one thing hasn't changed: the people behind the map…”

“Will's grandfather Brian helped map Britain. Today, Will does the same job with very different technology.
Together, they reflect on their careers as Ordnance Survey surveyors, sharing stories from different eras of surveying.
From paper field books to GPS and digital mapping, discover how surveying has evolved, how maps are made, and the technology behind the data millions rely on every day.
Whether you're interested in mapping, surveying, geography, cartography, or the history of Ordnance Survey, this is a fascinating insight into the people and processes that help put Britain on the map…”

The canyons of the Southwest are so vast that a single picture can barely contain them So instead, I took 50 images and smushed them all into one big one #panorama #nature #southwest #photography #desert #canyons #publiclands #protectpubliclands #publiclandsinpublichands
