Is there anywhere that you can view it full size?

Edit - skimmed the article too fast.

I would never vote for Abe Lincoln. No need. The south knows better than to tear apart our great Union over the issue of slavery. If anything we should worry about those damn Indians in the west and the British invading again!

Find the Embassy building (large white building on the water front), put the word "Embassy" in the lower left corner, and then scroll straight up.

I didn't know that ghosts lived in the past?

lol. Probably has to do with the exposure time required to take the shot.

Yeah but the guy with the 7D and 100-400 lens did like a 45 gigapixel panoramic of Dubai.... haha which doesn't compare of course with modern tech, but this is still interesting..... I wonder the level of sharpness of this photo.
