Tannery Falls Pano Shots

Hello again everyone (all 3 of you.)  Just thought I'd post some pano shots of Tannery Falls in Munising that I stitched together using Autostitch.

I encourage you to click through each image in order to use download the original-sized image. (Click the "Download" link above each photo.)  The photos are really quite large and can be fun to explore at 100% size.

Near the trail head that leads back to Tannery Falls.

There's some really cool sandstone cliffs that you walk really close to. It was kind of disconcerting with how close to spring time it was.

Getting up-close-n-personal with the sandstone. The full-sized image has a ton of detail, check it out.

Almost back to the falls, looking across the valley to the other side.  Pretty nifty, eh?

Almost there!  Just around that corner, and over that bridge is the massive bowl Tannery Falls has carved out over the years. This is where I really started getting a little paranoid because of the overhanging sandstone.

And there it is, just over that massive mound found in the middle of the eroded bowl.  The falls come down and flow to the right around the mound, and under the bridge.  Strangely, in the stream off to the right (not in the picture,) there's a 6 to 12 inch pipe sticking out of the sandstone.  No other stuff is around that makes sense of what it's there for.  Very strange.

Here's a super-wide shot. I'm standing on top of the mound. Just to the right of this photo is the bridge where we came in, and I was trying to get enough photos to show that, but as I was getting the farthest-most right pictures, a few baseball-sized pieces of sandstone crumbled off the cliff and landed not 10 feet from me!  I hollared to Heather and the kids: "OK!  TIME TO GO! NOW!"
