Il Monte Rosa, detto anche Massiccio del Monte Rosa, (in francese, Mont Rose, in lingua walser, Gletscher) è, per estensione e importanza, il secondo gruppo montuoso delle Alpi ed il più alto della Svizzera. Si trova nelle Alpi Pennine e si estende su territorio italiano (nei comuni di Alagna Valsesia, Ayas-Champoluc, Gressoney-La-Trinité, Gressoney-Saint-Jean, Macugnaga e Valtournenche) e svizzero (nei comuni di Saas-Almagell e Zermatt). La parete est che si affaccia su Macugnaga è considerata una vera e propria parete himalayana: è una parete con oltre duemila metri di ghiaccio, neve e roccia, la più lunga nel suo genere sulle Alpi. La Punta Dufour, con i suoi 4.634 metri, è la vetta più alta. Sulla Punta Gnifetti è ubicato il rifugio alpino più alto d'Europa, la Capanna Regina Margherita (a quota 4.554 metri), che è sede anche di una stazione meteorologica e centro di ricerche sugli effetti dell'alta quota sul corpo umano. da wikipedia. |

Photographed from the Piazza Pio XII, the square is unusually empty as I photographed it around 6:30 AM. A couple of hrs later thousands of pilgrims and tourists of other faiths will inundate one of Rome's most famous attractions. |

Across the water from the famous Marcus square and all the other sights there is the church of San Giorgio on a small island. From it's Campanile (Bell Tower) you have a wonderful overview over Venice, Italy. |

This stitched view has been composed from a terrace located on the southern bank of the Arno river, between Ponte della Santa Trinità (Holy Trinity Bridge) and Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge).
Ponte Vecchio is one of Europe's oldest wholly-stone, closed-spandrel segmental arch bridges. It is one of the most reknown and visited monuments of Florence, and it has a very original superstructure formed by small and quite irregular shop blocks erected from the bridge's deck. It is said that the economic concept of bankruptcy originated here: when a merchant could not pay his debts, the table on which he sold his wares (the "banco") was physically broken ("rotto") by soldiers, and this practice was called "bancorotto". Not having a table anymore, the merchant was not able to sell anything. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponte_Vecchio |

As photographed from the North East corner of the Palatine grounds above the Roman Forum. .
I am guessing that there are easily another 100 snapshots of known historical significance in this pano. The Roman Forum is located in a valley that is between the Palatine hill and the Capitoline hill. It originally was a marsh, but the Romans drained the area and turned it into a center of political and social activity. The Forum was the marketplace of Rome and also the business district and civic center. It was expanded to include temples, a senate house and law courts. When the Roman Empire fell, the Forum became forgotten, buried and was used as a cattle pasture during the Middle Ages. Much of the forum has been destroyed. Columns and stone blocks are all that remain of some temples. The arch of Titus and the arch of Septimius Severus still stand and are in good shape. Like many other ancient Roman buildings, stone blocks have been removed from the Forum and used to build nearby churches and palaces. =========================================== TECHNICAL Why is my panorama CURVED so badly ??. I see this with some others that I have done but never this bad before. l. Is it because I was high up and the Gigapan (level) was always shooting below its own horizon and the stitcher software spotted this as it aligned the photos. But still, you would think that it could get the horizon level? |
