This panoramic photo was taken by me from the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland at the end of Piedmont Ave.
It’s an HDR picture and I took 15 photos all together. 5 frames across with 3 exposures over lapping each frame. However in this cropped version it is more like 4 frames wide.



Because it is pretty big you will have to open it in a new window and then click it to view full size.
Hope you like it!

Oakland Landmarks
What landmark do you think most represents Oakland?
What one is greatest to you? I’m honestly not sure but do have a few favorites.
I removed several poll options because they were not getting any votes so it’s now between these three.
Port of Oakland cranes, Lake Merritt and The Tribune Building.
I wanna hear your opinion. Drop a comment below or mention something that isn’t on this poll.
