You can see where they fucked up on the auto-stitching. Too bad I can't figure out how to link you to a specific example of it, but a building is very highly cut off.

So... Anyone know how you do this? What kind of equipment do these guys have? This seems like you would need a serious lens...

Wow...they must have one building contractor in Prague. All the buildings look the same.

Wow nice! Need to seriously be good at robotics and coding to pull something like this off.

I've always thought of how cool it would be to climb up one of those TV towers. There's a couple really tall ones in my area. Either for TV, or for Cell/Radio.

I love the clickless draggable pan/tilt navigation and wheel zoom.

Gotta check out the Little Planet view too (right-click)...very cool.

Find the red circle.

I have been viewing north, to see the south side of the buildings, exposed to sunlight. Some people in the park are wearing jackets. Some people in the buildings are in less.

There is a cemetery on the north side of the tower, at the base of the tower. I like the disordered pattern of the tombstones. This is the first time I have seen a cemetery without an organized plot system.

There are a couple girls sitting on a bench at the base of the tower on the south side.

Exception to the rule.

I wonder if anyone can find this one.

I found the Dancing House but it took me an hour and a half to do so. The Dancing House does not have the artistic ball on its roof. The red circle is the Dancing House. The green circles are the landmarks I used to pinpoint the location. I had to use google maps to obtain the location of the Dancing House, then used the 360degree picture of the Dancing House to find the tv tower. Then I aligned the streets and reversed the compass directions from the tv tower.

Dancing House address (Rašínovo nábřeží 80, 120 00 Praha 2). Found through http://maps.google.com/

LOL yeah I saw that girl, i was like "wtf?"

There's another area where they put a tarp over the roof and nailed 2x4's to hold it. I think the time it took to setup that tarp they could have just finished the roof.
