Yankee Stadium panorama from Monument Park

This weekend Roger Waters is performing The Wall at Yankee Stadium twice (Friday and Saturday nights). When I took this photo at a Yankees-Braves game last month they had an advertisement for the second date (which wasn’t sold out at the time) and it gave me goosebumps. Unfortunately, I will not be in New York this weekend, but I have extremely fond memories of seeing this tour in San Francisco.

I took today’s picture from Monument Park in center field before the game, approximately the same place where Roger Waters will be performing The Wall. The photomerge of five pics messed up the netting that protects the monuments from home run balls. I attempted to Photoshop the netting away, but I became frustrated and was ready to delete the images off my hard drive. Then it occurred to me that this isn’t all that different from the wall Roger will be building and destroying in center field this weekend, built on the edges to begin with, fully built by intermission, and destroyed during the second set.

For another panorama of Yankee Stadium that isn’t a mess see this prior entry.

View from Metropolitan Museum of Art roof garden

Today’s panorama of Manhattan is a photomerge of about 10 images. I didn’t intend for this to happen, nor did I notice it until I returned home from New York and looked through some of my photos, but the lady in the foreground on the far left moved between the time I took the first picture and the last pic so that she appears on both ends (in the background on the right) of this panorama! This photomerge covers nearly 300 degrees of mostly Central Park.
