2.5 gigapixel picture, fascinating

[darren61]

It's not actually a 2.5 gigapixel picture it's a montage of 100s, you can zoom in for miles, it doesn't take that long to load as it loads each zoom seperately.
Not recommended for dialup users though
Fascinating

That couple are still up to it in that window!

Where? I've been looking for ages and can't see any couple enjoying carnal pleasure.

i wonder if they will take the pictures in a time lapse so we can see how it ends

Didn't see that one last time the picture was mentioned, but to me it looks like a bus (a Dutch bus, that is )) Haven't seen that type around when we were living there.
Must be saving on exhaution rubish from diesels? But still, it looks strange, I must give you that.

Well spotted - but it just shows where the individual pictures have been assembled to form the composite picture. (The pictures were taken at different times!!)

If you look 'south west' of the bus there is half a person walking along the side of the same road (dark trousers & half a light top)

Think my pc is well sad!

When I zoom in I just get a grey mush!

 

[DforDave]

I think this is clever (I selected the Flash version), but then I am probably as sad as securespark's PC !

Check out the end of the road at the top - at roughly five past one clock position. The white car approaching from the right hand side has lost its wheels! It looks as though the road is flooded - but no water.

There is also a silver grey vehicle approaching that same position with its right hand side missing. I really must get a life!!

Just to clarify whether the pictures were taken at different times, I've found one clock that says 3:05 presume pm has anyone found another clock in the picture?
