I hiked up the hill across the road from the new house and snapped a series of photos that I combined by using the stitch feature in the Canon Zoom Browser application. I took three images from left to right which covers the front property line of the half-acre lot. During the stitching process you can accept the automatic merge function or you can specify two or more corresponding areas. I find that the latter technique makes for smoother “seams” in the final image.
I think the house has “curb appeal” even though there are no curbs on our little unpaved road. Click on the image to enlarge.

Yesterday, Verna and I drove to Santa Monica for a dental appointment. We had a little time to kill since we arrived in the area early, so we took a walk in Palisade Park which overlooks the North Santa Monica Bay. I took several images and composed this panoramic view of the seashore and blue pacific ocean. Click on the thumbnail image to view the full-sized panorama.

I went out this morning to take the dogs for a walk. I took a couple of images while I was across the road and later stitched them into this panoramic image. Click to see the full-sized panorama.
When you enlarge the image, you can see a bit of the new courtyard gate in the archway.

This is what the Arizona property looks like after the landscape crew finished the front of the house. Tomorrow, they will be back to complete the RV pull through and the landscaping in back of the house. Click on the panoramic image to see full-sized.

The masons were here today for phase three of the courtyard wall. They finished the arch and put in the southwestern accents on the wall (similar to those in top of the building). I stood just across the road and took this panoramic image of the house, wall and the road. Click on the image above for the full-sized panorama. Click here to see a close up of the arch and some of the accents.

This is what we saw from a ridge on the west side of town today as we looked to the north. This looks in the general direction toward Yarnell and Prescott with the Hassayampa river valley at the far right side. Click on the panorama to see full-sized.

On Tuesday, Verna climbed to the top of the little hill behind our house and took a couple of shots of the house and the surrounding area. I usually do the panoramas but I was talking to the construction crew that came to install the cable feed. Later, when I was looking at the pictures she took I thought that the pair from the hill would make a nice panoramic image so I stitched them together. Click on the image below to see the full panorama.
