On a recent trip to New Mexico I tried out the panarama feature on the Sony camera . You can press and sweep the horizon. While I don't think I will use this function often, it did capture somewhat better the expansive open country that a simple pic couldn't.
Northeast of Santa Fe there are string of Pueblos that have governance over their lands. Here in the pictures are the Nambe falls and reservoir. I hiked around the lake and up to the falls. Notice not a cloud in the sky. In early fall it's 75 degrees and a great day to be in the outdoors.
