Hawaii Pacific University Modern Media Systems class on the Fort Street Mall in Downtown Honolulu. Question of the day: how can a collaboration that includes Carnegie Mellon University, NASA, GOOGLE, National Geographic, and faculty and students at Hawaii Pacific University expand our understanding of modern media systems? In other words, what emerging, unique potentials are being leveraged by these institutions and their communities in our network of networks project? In part this image constitutes an exploration and manifestation of image-making technologies that provide opportunities for meta-connectivity and global community building. A compelling aspect of the global connection project is its attention to transparency. Transparency of technology, transparency of process, and drill down ability in the composite image itself.. |

My thanks to Hexham Abbey for their 'non-commercial use' permission to take this panorama.
This is a 360° panorama of the inside of Hexham Abbey (once described as the finest north of the Alps), showing some of the wonderful details in the ceilings, walls and windows. |

http://www.muenster.de/stadt/tourismus/en/old-town-area.html Münster's Old Town: A Spirited City Centre with an Exciting History Magnificent rows of historic buildings interspersed with modern architecture and contemporary works of sculptured art: Münster's historic Old Town is a spirited city centre where past and present meet. A unique selection of museums and exciting events fill the town with vibrant life. The Westphalian Museum of Art and Cultural History, the Pablo Picasso Museum of Graphic Arts and the Museum of Lacquered Art are all within walking distance from each other. Münster's City Museum and Municipal Theatre are also located in the Old Town. Münster's Prinzipalmarkt, St Lambert’s Church, the Town Hall commemorating the Peace of Westphalia, the Cathedral and its surrounding square are just a few of the city's architectural gems built during the past eight centuries. Münster is also a shopper's paradise offering top quality, distinctive products sold by local merchants in the main shopping areas along Prinzipalmarkt, Salzstraße as well as in the historic Rothenburg area and Kiepenkerl district. A variety of interesting shops can also be found along Ludgeristraße. In the heart of the city close to historic Prinzipalmarkt, the new shopping experience of the Münster Arcades connects the traditional shopping areas Ludgeristraße and Rothenburg. Typical of a university town, the pubs in the historic Kuhviertel area are a favourite of Münster's student population. A variety of old-fashioned restaurants throughout the Old Town serve traditional Westphalian fare. This unique combination of things to do and see in Münster makes visiting Westphalia's capital a truly memorable experience! |

There is a parable in Matthew 25 that speaks of feeding the poor. I believe that these words from 2000 years ago, as well as words from other religions of the world, create a foundation of the rich giving food to the poor and of wealthy nations providing sustenance to the poor nations that are in need. I am impressed by what Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church is doing and have created this panorama to show others what some people in Houston are doing on the local level to give nourishment to those who are in need. Since this church is across the stree from Rice University, I have added it to the collection of Rice GigaPans, which can be accessed via this link: http://tinyurl.com/RiceUniversity For this hand-held panorama, I used a Nikon D70 with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens and was stitched with the GigaPan Stitcher. The photos were taken over a period of two days. |

Definitely not to be missed are the astronomical clock, a wonder of the late mediaeval period, the calendar of which extends to the year 2071, and the Domkammer, which, with its works of gold and cloth, numbers among the most important treasuries in Europe. |

Viewed through the Bandstand, the Abbey is at the centre of Hexham's historic core. The Abbey Grounds are a tranquil haven of a wide range of trees, while Beaumont Street (seen centre right) has the Queen's Hall Arts Centre, library and theatre as its centrepiece. The Market Place is hidden beyond the Abbey. |
