Saving Private Ryan maybe is the most realistic film ever made about the landing of the Allied forces in German-occupied France on June 6th 1944, but with so many explosions and fast camera movements you can’t really see the place at the film. This mini-panoramio can help you with that:

You might have seen on TV see images of the sarcophagus that covers the reactor number 4 from Chernobyl Nuclear Plant that exploded in the accident, but this mini-panoramio gives you a wider perspective:

Actually there is not very much to see around the plant, but what is really amazing is taking a virtual walk […]

I never expected such a resolution for a relatively unkown place as Forte São João Baptista in Ibo island in Mozambique:

Pico Island or Ilha do Pico is an island of the Azores (Portugal) archipelago (pico means peak in Portuguese). Take a look here if you wonder about the name. Ponta de Pico (Pico Alto) […]

Few days ago while browsing around Arizona in Panoramio I found Horseshoe Bend, one of those places where satellite and surface photos combine so good that you almost get the feeling being physically there, as you can see in the mini-panoramio below:

Horseshoe Bend is a meander of the Colorado River located near the town […]

What it makes North Cape very special is that standing there you feel like being at the end of the world. In front of you there is nothing else but the immensity of the sea and the North Pole. I know that feeling because I worked in North Cape for a couple of summers.
