mvs Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 It shows the NCNP from end to end in one compact picture: On the web site there is also an article about the artist Berann who made it. It is a pretty interesting read. Quote
ScottP Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 I have seen his panoramic rendition of the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland. Impressive attention to detail. A complete list and sample of his panoramas Quote
GuyPeake Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 I like the little flourishes of detail - the distant 'Seattle' skyline; Hwy 20, Marblemount, & Diablo Dam; farther out he made a point of including 3 Fingers & Whitehorse, and the Twin Sisters, and Little Tahoma; heck I believe I can even make out the buildings of Stehekin.. All he needs now is Eldorado's 'knife edge' and a bit more definition to the far, far off Olympics.. Amazing to see how many of these 'maps' the guy has cranked out over his lifetime. Good stuff.

Dru Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 It'd be nice to look with a microscope and see if he put a tiny Beckey in the Picket Range. Quote
mvs Posted April 6, 2005 Author Posted April 6, 2005 He would also alter topography somewhat to make everything interesting face the camera. If you look closely, the southern picket range should be facing so due east as it appears in the panorama. But by doing that, you get to see the visual splendor much better. That rules! Just don't try to navigate by it! Quote
Blake Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 How did the Stehekin valley get so broad, and when did it get a lake? Where's the entiat range? Finally.... anyone else having trouble seeing Buckner-Boston-Forbiden-Eldo? Still a pretty cool drawing, i just have to complain about something. Quote
Alex Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 (edited) Eldo is fairly easy to spot, as are Boston/Sahale and Buckner areas. The thing that seems a little off to me is Logan, and Johannesburg looks weird. Oh I see it now, its looks alot more diminuative than Formidible directly behind it..

Skeezix Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 How did the Stehekin valley get so broad, and when did it get a lake? Coon Lake? Quote
Blake Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Eldo is fairly easy to spot, as are Boston/Sahale and Buckner areas. The thing that seems a little off to me is Logan, and Johannesburg looks weird. Oh I see it now, its looks alot more diminuative than Formidible directly behind it.. The Boston Glacier is easy to ID, with Trappr Lake behind it, and a bit of Moraine Lake visible, but I guess i'm just not connecting on Boston/Buckner/Torment/Forbidden The lake should in Stehekin must be Coon lake, but Coon lake is more of a small swamp on the shoulder of Mcgregor, and doesn't have any sizable creek running down-vally out of it. Maybe he had to make the valleys a little wider to give more room to make the peaks visible? It's still a pretty cool painting. Quote
ncascademtns Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Crater, Jack and Hozomeen on the bottom middle and right are a kick! Quote
chelle Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 The one of Yosemite is a great perspective too. Quote
Don_Serl Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 what a wonderful rendering - a talented guy, for sure. but too bad the view is limited to the NCNP - some of the most interesting peaks in the north cascades lie just across the border in canada: border peaks, slesse, rexford, the cheam range, etc. (in fact, as i look at the view again, i note that everything north of nooksack river is missing, including the american stuff: tomyhoi, etc.) not to slam the guy or anything - this is remarkable work - but mountain ranges are much better viewed as orographic wholes, not subdivided by our human-imposed cultural/political limitations. cheers, don Quote
