Yesterday, I made the short (five or six miles?) drive from our house to the west shore of Powdermill Pond in Hancock. This “pond” is actually a dammed section of the Contoocook River. The dams (there are three) hold water for use by the Monadnock Paper Mill in Bennington. The upper two dams may also be (or have been) used for power.
I was hoping to catch the light of the setting sun on the eastern (i.e. the west-facing) side of the pond with Crotched Mountain in the background.
The third photo was taken on the drive back home. It is a view facing west across a hay field that was, until recently, owned by one of Joan’s cousins.

Four frame panorama of Powder Mill Pond; it would print almost four feet wide (by ten inches high):

It’s all about the clouds! You have certainly found some interesting ones in the past couple of blogs!
Your pano is showing sign of over-sharpening as there is a halo quite noticeable over the mountain peaks.
