From NationalGeographic.com:
Ever have one of those moments when you wish you could look out your window and see the streetscape of Paris spilled out before you? Well now you can have the same view from your desktop. Mashable reports on the new release of the Paris 26 Gigapixels site, which stitched together 2,346 photos (or 26 billion pixels) to create a panoramic view of Paris (complete with the wistful accordion music from Amélie…swoon).
The zoom capability on the site is impressive: You can see the gargoyles on Notre Dame Cathedral, or the tourists gathering on the steps outside Sacré Coeur. The site also does well by highlighting 20 Most Beautiful Paris Monuments, providing history and background information about each. But to get the real “I’m in Paris” sensation, go to the full-screen mode and navigate the streets until you find an apartment to call your own. Then grab a baguette and pretend you’re peering out from the window of your pied-à-terre. (There’s also an HD mode, which only enhances the experience.)
To learn more about how the Gigapixel photo was taken, read about it here and here.
