Yosemite panorama

Last week I went to Yosemite National Park with Adam and Scott, and did one of my favourite hikes: to the top of Yosemite Falls. And at the peak, Yosemite Point, I did an old tourist trick: take a 360 degree picture by taking a shot, turning a little bit, taking another shot, turning a little bit, and so on. I was able to stich together the individual shots to create the following photo.

If you click on the photo, you’ll go to a QuckTime VR panoramic movie, which will allow you to rotate the image (it may take a little while to download the movie, as it’s 2.4 MB). (Note that you have to have Apple QuickTime installed. It’s a free download.) If you’re going to come back to the site again and again, I’d request that you download it once to your hard drive.

All I can say is, “wow”. Very, very cool — looks like you were up there on a much nicer afternoon this time around! I remember being petrified that I was going to have to decend in pouring rain. Doing it on (mostly) dry land was scary enough!

Hey! Where’s Larry?! I didn’t think he left by the time you shot that… :)
