There's a recent poll on Commute By Bike that asks where we park our bike. There were many categories, but nothing matched parking your bike in a stadium.

After work today, I swung by my daughter's high school (Grady High) to watch the girls play Region rival Druid Hills for seeding in the State Tournament. This match determined 3rd and 4th seeds. Grady won 2-0; same as their last meeting. My daughter left the game right before half with a badly sprained left wrist, but she'll be able to play in the tournament.

The panorama below is for Apertome. He has asked how I put together the panoramas. My Canon PowerShot S400 has a "stitch" mode that helps you align sequential shots. I then use the Canon stitching software to join them all together. Digital Magic. These images were taken as the teams were warming up so I had a better chance of getting the images to merge well.

Several years ago, there was a colorful character who lived Intown Atlanta named Panorama Ray. He had one of the old Kodak Cirkut cameras that took panoramas by exposing the film while it slowly revolved around the scene, using a slit for the aperature. He had taken many panoramas in and around our neighborhood. Although I won't be able to reproduce what he had done, I'd like to do what I can to keep his memory alive.
