I must confess I have no idea where the old Annan is, but a quick online search insists it's in Scotland. In any event someone decided they needed a new one even though they already had a perfectly good one that seems comfortably broken in if not downright homey. And is if one New Annan wasn't enough they actually made a backup copy across the Strait on the Island. What is really weird is that there is a West New Annan and a Central New Annan but East New Annan fell off the map or got lost in the forest.

I was forced to take in this vista for the past three days while working. I finally decided today would be a good day to photograph it seeing as it was the only day it didn't rain and I was finished working in the area and had no idea when or if I'd return. So I tried one of them panarami thingamabobs and stapled a few shots or so together and decided to share the misery of climbing a steep hill strewn with tree carcasses to get the shot.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Amen on Anna, Wendell. Some of us would like to be as skinny as the residents of New Annan.
Good thingamabob you manufactured.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I literally had to run from side to side to see 'all' of this one!...Really took the puff outa me...(Gasps for breath!!)

I know the Scottish Annan very well! .. It is a lovely little fishing port on our west coast on the Scottish Borders!..



Not as big as this scene though, but it does take some time to get from there to there!...lol

Great pano mate

Wendell - A real nice pano of the countryside. I must say that when in NS, a Scot told me that the hills of NS and PEI are much smaller than those of Scotland and should't be named after them. Perhaps his cup of tea was a lot more bitter than mine. I like the view here. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Like the panaramic look to this - seems to suit.

Well you have done your research yes there is a Annan Scotland and the word in Gaelic means the river Alann.It as been said that in the UK you can find a area that is like parts of other countries.This i must say is one very interesting photography with great depth of field and lovely detail plus stunning sky.

You did a great job Wendell - I especially like the way You put that one tree in the foreground (on the right as one looks at the photo). Very nice work.
