Tavazo-e-Bustan Nut Store is located in Bustan shopping center near Punak Square. I was walking in Bustan shopping center that I found this beautiful store. At first I thought maybe it is not a good place for a panorama because of the little space and distance from the camera, but fortunately I decided to give it a try. I love the result.
You can find many different kinds of nuts in the photo, also many chocolates, even drinks such as Rani :) Related Gigapan: Pounak Sq. ( http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=14066 ) Somehow the same: Everything-can-be-found Store! ( http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=9577 ) |

This gigapan image was taken in the wee hours of Christmas Eve morning during the first of three layovers between Bangalore and St. Louis, MO. Christmas ornamentation was present throughout the terminal, though Yuletide muzak was happily lacking. Permission to take this photo was granted by both the hotel staff and airport security. |

A "shopping spree" was sponsored by the Junior League at the newly constructed Raleigh Convention Center, North Carolina. This panorama captures the hundreds of people on the convention center floor going from booth to booth, and the multitude of items for sale. |

A handheld 360 panorama of Osaka's Dotonburi district - with covered shopping arcades for as long as the eye can see! Feel free to explore the panorama - there are some 'ghost people' that make their way in. Taken with a D700. |

This shot is of the original Downtown Disney which was followed shortly afterwards by the Downtown Disney Westside. Downtown Disney which is open to the public, with plenty of free parking, serves as the shopping,dining and entertainment hub of the massive Walt Disney World Resort. This area only has dining and shopping, including quite a few highly unique stores and restaurants. It is a popular place to enjoy after a day at the theme parks or before guests head to the airport as you can find practically any kind of Disney branded product you can imagine, from inexpensive plastic trinkets to hundreds of Disney stuffed character toys to specialty art, jewelry and crystal costing thousands of dollars. If you look under Mickey and Minnie over the doors to the World of Disney Store you will see two cast members in costume. They are a part of the Disney magic as their only job, so far as I could tell, was to sprinkle fairy dust (glitter) on the heads of little girls. I have heard it speculated that Disney caters more to little girls as studies show that it is the women of the family who usually set the vacation plans, so Disney tries to enchant them young so they bring their own families back when they reach adulthood. |

Coca Cola no doubt intended for this park to be used by business types, or perhaps for the students of the local university, Georgia Tech. Alas, Atlanta does not take good care of its citizens and the park is used as a place to sleep for the many homeless. And Georgia Tech students are kept from the park by a fence, or perhaps the residents of the park are kept from Georgia Tech. |

A complete 180+ degree view of my first gigapan, http://share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=24376.
Technically the first gigapixel image i've ever taken. Got good sky detail by underexposing, a happy accident. Many less stitching errors than my first panorama, but I left them uncorrected this time...might fix them later. More to come! |

At Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Reverend Billy Talen speaks to a crowd about the G-20 summit. Billy travels the country preaching against consumerism, introducing himself as "the Rev. Billy from the Church of Life After Shopping."
For a more distant shot, see http://gigapan.org/gigapans/33527/ To read Rev. Billy's writings: http://www.revbilly.com/chatter/blog/2009/19/a-peace-activist-thinks-about-g-20 Photographer comments: I should have locked exposure on the camera. 2/3 of the way through the shooting, as the robot & camera panned from left to right, Rev. Billy finished his speech and the crowd started to disperse some. |
