The title is somewhat tricky, because Jammerland only exist in the name for the bay in Great Belt between the peninsulas of Reersø and Asnæs. It is my own invention to use on the strip of land between the belt and Tissø. The only sensible thing to asume, though, is that the sea-name must derive from a land placename.

As you can read about in pano #8648, the horizon must be about 39 km away. This gives a slight wavy horizon on Fyn island, as some places are nearer. This is maybe most for feinschmeckers. As contrary to shorter lensed-panos, the water horizon seems to fade away a little in spite of the clear sight on this day. I think it's because of the low standing sun and the scattered cloud layers over the horizon, giving slightly different light conditions over this long area.

The tele study of course offers much more detailed view, and I hope you will enjoy it. Most outstanding is of course Tissø, but also the Reersø peninsula and the uninhabited islands of Musholm and Romsø can be seen.

The location is the highest point of the lateral moraine that came from the glacier carving out the Great Belt. Unlike common belief this particular glacier came from south, and advanced north where central Samsø, Sejerø and Nekselø was left as the end moraine. From there it retreated but pushed forward again and left Røsnæs. The features on land are continued under the sea, where curved walls continues from east to west. And so it went, back and forth, leaving an almost mirrorlike landscape. Romsø and Reersø are the result of such an advance, with most of the wall being under water. Tissø owe it's existence to a big chunk of ice that broke off during this proces.

The pano was made of 41 pictures (RAW), in two rows, 300 mm, f/6,3, 1/400s, iso-200, stitched with Hugin, scaled and sharpened in IrfanView.
