Walkway Over The Hudson Historic State Park spans the Hudson river in the state of New York between Poughkeepsie and Highland.
It was originally a railroad bridge, which was completed in 1889 and was in service until 1974, when it was closed after a fire.
The bridge is 1.28 miles long, with the center deck 212 feet above the river (which is at sea level — the river actually flows both directions with the ocean tides far inland beyond Poughkeepsie).
The bridge was later refurbished into a pedestrian walkway, which opened in 2009, becoming the longest footbridge in the world. |

The United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, was established in 1802, at a location originally used by the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. The photos used to assemble this landscape were taken from the parade field at West Point during Branch Week. Visible in front of Washington Hall one can see, among other things, two AH-64 Apache helicopters, two CH-47 Chinook helicopters, a Stryker armored fighting vehicle, and an M-1 Abrams Tank. |

This landscape was taken to help encourage students to learn about science and astronomy using Stellarium.
The panorama was taken at the playground area of Chesterton Elementary School on October 23, 2011.
The image was constructed using the Multiple Image Method using 8 overlapping images to provide a high level of detail.
The original composite panorama image was 22442 (width) x 2418 (height) pixels.
Composite photo reduced to 5 equally sized photos of 2048 by 1024 pixels.
Many trees created complex horizon background but left details, such as tether-ball poles, in place during transparency development to keep landscape realistic.
The lines of the playground provide an interesting perspective with Stellarium. |

This panorama was made using Nasa's WorldWind. Screenshots were taken at 45 degree increments. The screenshots were layered and stitched together, and then offset until the the Northern mountains were aligned. A landscape such as this could be made of any location in the world. There is a plug-in for WorldWind called "BigScreenshot," that may make the process easier, but not automate it. A plug-in could be written to do this entire process automatically. |

This is a panorama I took near the peak of Mount Shea in northern British Columbia, Canada. My goal was to create an ultra high resolution landscape of a very remote, illumination-free area of Canada. It is also a tone-mapped HDR.
