Yes, it's sometimes hard to concentrate on your photography when
surrounded by the beauty of the subject. And wives impatient with other
than snapshot photography can impede success as well. :-)
The discussion of the north rim of the canyon reminded me that I have
about 250 photos of same taken in October 2008 which I have never
processed. Many are panos. I shall have to get to some of them and at
least post the yellow and gold of the trees on the approach.
ps: Like Chris I never found the "glitch" in the Monument Valley pano.
