Another Crazy Zoo-Train Panorama Along With a Metro Train Gone Wild, Another Mysterious Sculpture, Graduating Nurses and a Traffic Accident - a 360-Degree Google Earth Panorama by David Engle

Nikon D7000

The day started out on a bad note with a crashed Mac Book Pro (graphics board), a lost-in-the-mail Christmas package; however, by three o'clock in the afternoon the package was found and the computer was fixed and returned, so to celebrate I went over to Hermann Park to take two panoramas; one of the mysterious sculpture (this panorama) and the other of back-lit fountains in the Park.

So, as I set-up to take the panorama, a Metro Redline Train shows up, and the Zoo Train comes rumbling by and we also see some Prarie View A&M Nursing Student enjoying the afternoon and being photographed near Sam Houston Statue (www.gigapan.org/gigapans/9906/) and off in the distance, we see an ambulance and another emergency vehicle. When I left the park, there was HPD at the scene to make a report and clear the wrecks.

This hand-held panorama was taken with my Nikon D7000 and the 18-105mm 3.5-5.6G ED Nikkor lens.

Although the panorama consists of only 27 stitched photos, thanks to the GigaPan Stitcher software, seeing it as a curved panorama on a curved surface via the "View in Google Earth 4.2+" link can be most memorable.

And as always, more technical info can be seen via the Stitcher Notes.
