A Winter's Glow Photo

Photographer’s Note

Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania was first settled in the late 1600s or early 1700s and was known by several names including Bakers Ferry, McConkeys Ferry, and Taylorsville until the name was changed around 1918 to commemorate Washington crossing the Delaware here in 1776 during the American Revolution.

Several 19th century buildings at this site interpret life along the Delaware River after the American Revolution. The surrounding community, called Taylorsville at that time, was a busy commercial hub centered around businesses such as canal shipping and merchandising. Today the area is a state park.

The first bridge to span the Delaware River at this site was a wooden structure built in the early 19th Century that was swept away by a flood in 1903. The current structure was built in 1904. The bridge is a six-span Warren truss structure with a total length of 877 ft (270 m). The downriver side of the span supports a wood pedestrian walkway.

Tech: Panorama was stitched from 6 photos.

A splendid panorama, Linda. Your title really matches what we see here - the special light and winter colors are beautiful. A very good viewpoint to appreciate this wide angle, nicely framed by the two trees on either side and the bridge on the right. The birds congregating on the frozen area near the embankment are a neat detail. Good stitching job, and your usual top-notch note.

Nice panorama, I like that there is a tree on each end of this pic, as to frame the scenery. Nice light.

Beautiful winter landscape you captured Linda. You lucky getting so many birds on your shot and they doesn’t seams to disturb your panorama. The colors and light excellent with a low at the left - very well done - thanks for sharing and the not.

Il me semble que c'est votre premier panorama publier sur TE non?
L'image est vraiment belle et la large post a de très jolis détails. Le pont sur la droite a fait déjà je pense l'objet d'une de vos photos, et la vous le mettais en valeur avec toute cette neige autour Bravo c'est vraiment jolie comme cliché Linda.

That a very nice panorama Linda and I think it is the first you publish on TE. To have a river very straight is very difficult and you succed to stitch the picture well. Nice work!

A very nice panorama, Linda. The straight line of the river becomes curved and creats a 3D view. The colorsa t the sky are amazing and the stitching is perfect. Excellent shot and a very interesting note. Well done.

Linda, nice work here. I'd like to learn how to stitch shots together to make a panorama like that. If you get a chance drop me a note. I do like the light in this shot, and the colors you were able to bring out in the middle of winter.
Good work,
good luck,
Matt

Nice shot Linda!!!...

I really enjoy images that are composed and cropped this way... yes, it sure is a beautiful panorama view of the Delaware River...

I also really like the heavy gray horizontal bands, completes and complements the photo... very well presented...
