ted Brattstrom's Snapshots

Rose Bay High School by ted Brattstrom from the GigaPan Mt Wellington, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia by ted Brattstrom

What's nice about this - in the 3rd storey window on the right side of the snapshot, there is a webcam facing the other way. Mt Wellington, the Bridge, and parts of town are visible. (as I write this, the camera is having a problem and is not updating - hope they get it fixed after the holidays)

Still on Mauna Loa - this area has slipped, and is held in place by Kilauea. The lower side is Mauna Loa - but, not too far to the left is the contact with the South Rift area of Kilauea.
