Looking north towards the downtown area. Prominent features include the High Level Bridge, Legislature, Rossdale Bridge, Rossdale power plant, Telus Field baseball park. The North Saskatchewan River flows through the city eastward. I've also identified some of the buildings with snapshots.
There's also a plane in the sky on the left side. The stitching data erroneously gives the field of view as 33.3 degrees wide by 10 degrees high. More accurately, it's about 165 degrees wide and 42 degrees high. |

The view looking west of the southern Okanagan city on Osoyoos Lake which straddles the Canada-US border in southern British Columbia. Thousands of acres of vineyards and orchards produce many of Canada's finest wines and tree fruits is this little vest-pocket desert. See if you can pick out the Dutch windmill which is about 3 km from the camera...This has to be one of the greatest panoramas in Canada...there's even a pull-out on Highway 3 where you can stop and take in the view.
That's sagebrush in the near foreground. Composed of 405 shots (45x9), FOV 3.9 degrees, 420mm EFL, Polarizing filter Ok, let's see how long this takes to upload on my dial-up...I'm guessing about 150 hours. ;o) Neat thing about this uploader, even when my modem disconnects after 12 hours it still keeps the upload going for about 10-15 minutes until I reconnect the modem. It must have a big buffer. |

Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a significant National Historic Site by the government of Canada. It was a British colonial town established in 1753 to introduce Protestant colonists into the Colony when it was largely populated only by Catholic French Acadians and Natives. The French still occupied nearby Cape Breton Island at the Fortress of Louisbourg and both Halifax (founded 1749) and Lunenburg were strategic counter- moves in the on-going French versus English chess game played out in Europe and around the world at the time. The town was laid out in a strict grid pattern despite the steep hills leading to the harbourfront and through it's over 250 year history the layout and many of the buildings from the 1700's have survived. The Protestants who arrived in 1753 were mainly of German, Swiss and French (from the Montbeliard region) origins. Lunenburg is famous for the shipyard which built the Bluenose, the schooner which is pictured on the back of Canadian dimes. The Bluenose was undefeated in fishing schooner races against several Massachusettes challengers in the 1920's. A replica of the Bluenose (the Bluenose II) was built using the same shipwright plans and is Nova Scotia's official sailing ambassador. For more information, visit: http://www.explorelunenburg.ca |

University of Guelph - Dairy Bush - 30 - March 17 2010
More warm days(small snow flurry on the weekend) and the snow is now completely gone! IT was 15C while taking this GigaPan -spring appears to have sprung! The 8.5 week old puppy that was on a walk down the path today was certainly enjoying the weather! The ground is cold, but warming. There were butterflies, flies and spiders active today. The forecast for the rest of the week here is for even more sun St. Patrick's Day GigaPan. Like many places in Ontario, Guelph had a large influx of Irish immigrants due to the famine of 1847 (38,000 Irish arrived in Toronto (a city of 20,000 at the time) in that single year). Many of these settlers moved into the townships north of Guelph, some stayed - Guelph was 20% Irish in a 1852 census. "The Ward" a popular neighbourhood in town known for it's Italian population - was originally an Irish settlement, "St. Patrick's Ward" is it's full name. Here, lived both Irish Catholics and Protestants - a situation that produced much early Guelph history regarding courts and the law. There was much near institutionalized bias against the Catholic minority - and a local powerful politician (Dr. William Clarke - an Irish protestant) appears to have frequently fanned these flames. Read about the trial of Charles Coghlin for the murder of Richard Oliver in the "History of Guelph - 1827 - 1947" by Leo A. Johnston, (fantastic, but out of print book) digitally at: http://www.ourroots.ca/page.aspx?id=949966&qryID=cb805b86-b5f2-4719-9483-b4744d6919ca Last week's GigaPan at: http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/44482/ Next week's GigaPan at: (still to come) |

Mount Robson, the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies is on the left. The color of Kinney Lake is due to alluvial rock particles from the glaciers in the surrounding mountains.
