John Scalzi pointed out this page of panoramic photos of New Year’s Eve. The one for Reykjavik is up by Halgrimskirkja (the big pointy church you can see from everywhere) and has sound. It’s not the same as being there, but looking at the rockets going off in the middle of the crowd certainly gives on an idea of what it’s like. It takes a while to load, but I think it’s worth it.
What, no New Year’s Eve panorama from Honolulu? Perhaps it’s because the fireworks are Island wide…not just in one local.
The same is true in Iceland. Maybe it’s because the smoke is so thick, it’s not possible to see anything.
Wow, thanks for this link Mary! David, of course, is completely intrigued, and will probably try to download software and create some of these.
Happy 2007
I thought of him when I was on the main page of the website.
