Panorama Photo

Compared to the previous Kofinas panorama, here we loose the continuous view on the south coast, which is perhaps the most remarkable feature of this mountain, and of the whole Asteroussia ridge. On the other hand, we gain more sight in direction east, including the second summit, namely, the Madhara. Although insignificant as a mountain, this has its exposed south flank traversed high up by the track leading to the end-of-the-world monastery of Koudouma.
The problem of this panorama was the truly ugly summit cross, made of two second-hand pieces of wood hastily bound together. One does truly not see the need for this, considering the presence of the nicely-built summit chapel of Timios Stavros (Holy Cross), which is the second advantage of the present panorama over the previous one. Strangely enough, due to the layout of the rocks, it was not feasible to turn tightly around the object, however small. Nor there was the chance to move substantially away from it without sacrificing significant portions of the view.
So, like in the panorama that I published few minutes ago on APA (N.27931), the summit cross became the main problem to deal with! Unlike there, where the solution was to climb on the solid metal artifact and to shoot from it, here I found no better solution that taking two supplementary pictures to blend in its place. Of course, I had to adjust somewhat the close rocks - however, I left thereon some clue (like a piece of shadow) that will allow the careful Betrachter to figure out the position of the cross.
