Labor Day Dog Swim

To get the full effect click on the picture to embiggen it.
Bailey might have enjoyed this event at Carr Pool on Monday afternoon. It is sponsored by some dog club here in Ames that has managed to get a Dog Park to become a reality very soon. I shot some photos for a friend of mine who will put them on a website. There were a about 150 people there and maybe 80 dogs, all having a blast. The critters ranged from some short haired ones smaller than Bailey, to a Great Dane that was running around like a small horse! I found the dogs were behaving like a bunch of kids of various ages at a kid amusement park....rushing here or there and loving the fact they were THERE.

The panoramic shot was taken as I stood atop the diving platform, stitching five images together to make the shot.
The Malamute was an eight week old female, and had been in the water a few minutes before the shot, and was wrapped in a towel by her dog mistress to keep warm

Your panoramic shot is amazing. I can't believe (well I can - you wouldn't lie) that it's five shots hooked together. You did it so seamlessley. Very impressive. Cute puppy. I live malamutes.
