That's just all kinds of awesome.

Especially for those who've never been this beautiful city.

I've seen gigapixel images before but this one's amazing; almost fly on the wall stuff.

There is actually a Robotic gigapixel device made by a company called Gigapan available, that will automate the process not all that expensive either, I wonder if it could be successfully attached to a mount for all of sky imaging.

Hi H,

Apart from everyone now having satellite dishes, it doesn't appear to have changed
much.

Despite being no substitute for actually being there, it is a fabulous web page
and will bring enjoyment to many an arm chair traveler.

Perhaps one day we will all have optical fibers to our homes and with that sort of
bandwidth, imagine the next step up from this application and the things one might
then be able to do on the net.

Thanks for posting the link.
