Although that is the highest point in my county. Up in north-central Washington, we have mountains that *lots* of folks compare to the Swiss Alps. Never been over there, but if it's half as nice as the North Cascades, I understand! -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org Customer Hatred Knows No Bounds at MSFT ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org

Just how close to 360� does your 8:1 aspect ratio get you? Is it multiple exposures or computer assisted panning maybe? --- Stefan Berglund

I found the image on Panramio, via Google Earth. (I attached the KML to the initial post, too.) Here's the original: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/30150296 I just did a little wrap-around in PSP, though. That image is precisely 360�. What's more amazing to me is that the exposure is consistent throughout. I'm thinking there's probably dozens (hundreds?) of shots involved there, to avoid any sort of distortion, huh? -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org Customer Hatred Knows No Bounds at MSFT ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org
