The New Seven Wonders - 360 Degree Panorama

Just stumbled upon this site.. it's pretty cool.. ^.^
you can get a 360 degree view of The New 7 Wonders of the World (announced at Lisbon, Portugal on July 7, 2007) and many more others. Quite impressive stuff.. you just click on them and drag in any directions, can even zoom in and out..

These panoramas are taken by internationally known photographers and is also known as VR photography.. one of the downside is some of it takes quite some time to finish loading.. but juz let it load while you do other stuffs and get back to them later.. :P

Personally, i like the Great Wall one, was taken at a great time of the day, when the sun was setting i believe.. and it really shows the vastness of the Great Wall..

check out Petra in Jordan as well.. also called the "rose red city".. get a glimpse of it, but as mentioned, it won't be enough.. you'll want to see the colours and the achitectures carved out of the cliffs yourself.. only a small part of the place was captured but it did show the nice reddish colours of the cliffs.. the place is impossible to capture in a normal still image, you'll have to visit it yourself, but well, the next best would be the 360 degree panorama wouldn't it? :P

I was pretty excited when i notice they also had one of Chateau Versailles, The Hall of Mirrors. But its a pity the paintings on the ceilings aren't quite sharp.. =( thats definitely one of the places that i'd love to visit.. ^.^

go ahead and take a look, haha travel to famous parts of the world thru your computer, visually at least.. http://www.panoramas.dk/7-wonders/index.html
