Fantastic, the only danger is, whit such a camera and with so many pixels, everybody sees what you do in that moment. Mr. Orwill said 50 years ago , in the future we will have a daily life where the goverment have the possibility to see what you are doing any time. Have we started to reach his future nightmare

I'm sure we're closer to the likes of the government ''seeing'' what each and everyone of us are doing at anytime than the majority of people would like to believe right now!!

Anyway, this panoramic is made up of something like 10,000 photo's...... the incredible thing to me is not just the panoramic view itself (or the ''stitching'' of the individual images), but the detail that can be seen by ''zooming in'' on a specific point (using the + at the bottom of the page). For instance, the church spire in the distance: -

Or the guy in the green T-shirt taking photos from the bell tower directly under the spire - incredible!

Did you notice the sponsors advert that looks like it's been photo-shopped onto the bus shelter?
