Woods to me always have a holy feel\u2026add a shroud of snow over every twig and bough and branch and the wood resounds with subtle praise\u2026a chorus that cannot help but stir the heart. Or maybe that is just me? Catching that feeling in a photograph is not easy. I have tried repeatedly and will probably go on trying every time we have a clinging snow, and as long as I can get out into the woods to wonder at it. This image is 5 wide-angle frames (24mm equivalent field of view, Sony a6700 and Sigma 16-300), processed in Photomator and stacked in Bimostitch to form a vertical panorama. It is a vertical slice about 70 degrees wide and about 150 degrees tall, out of our approximately 180-degree total field of view. Like all panoramas, it bends reality and challenges the mind a bit\u2026but then that is what any cathedral is actually designed to do. It is part of what produces the sense of awe. For best effect, view it on a screen that shows the whole image, so that you do not have to scroll. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-21877\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=21877&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-21877\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=21877&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=21877&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is it about a snowy woods?
