I went back to La Ropa last night to try to capture the ultimate Zihua panorama. This ultra high resolution image is 21,000 pixels wide. That's enough for a full resolution print 7 feet wide showing the entire bay. My poor laptop took most of the day to crunch all the pixels.
I hope you like it.

Thanks so much. it looks way better at a higher magnification. It's hard to look at a massive scene on a small screen. I'm glad you like it.

Fabulous shot! Too bad about the light pollution from the Naval quarters that was hurriedly built apparently in violation of numerous codes, regulators and laws.

Thanks for everyone's comments. So Rob is that the bright light in the image? I thought that was repairs on the pier. The next goal is to do an evening shot from Las Gatas and then walk back along the path (since there won't be any boats at that time of day).

The bright lights at the pier are no problem. Unfortunately during the last municipal administration the Mexican Navy was allowed to build "quarters" on million-dollar land in front of the Partenón overlooking La Ropa. That's the fugly light pollution I was referring to. They violated every ecological law, and rushed to build it so fast that no one could stop them. Ruined everyone else's land values and rentals.

The Navy's quarters is an odd place. We drive by twice a day, most days, but have yet to see any sign that anyone actually lives there. Maybe they sneak in-and-out at night. We like how they've labelled the buildings "A" and "B" in 2-ft high letters, just to make sure no one gets them confused.

i agree with the lighting being too much, I am guessing they didnt use low pressure sodium lights, as it is a military building, and it doesn't allow a full spectrum of color somehow .
i think this place makes some people feel safer(bring back tourists)and puts a shackle on any lawsuits regarding the parthenon lands.
but it is an eyesore that makes intrawest look good.
