The work of the American architect Ralph Adams Cram.
Unedited version, this is how it came out of the stitcher. Still trying to figure out how to make the Gigapan perfectly level... But at least I couldn't find major stitching errors (apart from some ghosting of the flags) in this one.

Kilgore661 - part of my issues with making the Gigapan level come from a cheap and low-quality tripod that obviously needs a replacement. I haven't done anything special when placing the panorama in Google Earth - maybe it is less obvious in GE what is horizontal and what is not, that's why this pano looks better there.

About making the GigaPan level - this is a question worth asking on the GP forum because many people will have had the same problem. Personally I believe it is impossible without some heavy-duty gyroscopes and built-in lasers. Perhaps they will be part of a future GigaPan Deluxe? The tilt doesn't look so bad in GE - perhaps that is because you have discovered you can correct tilt when you add a GP to GE? An alternative approach - which I take - is to use third party software.
