http://www.360cities.net/image/obama-prague click here to see the spherical version.
Barack Obama came to Prague for a couple days last week. Coincidentally, he came at a moment when there is actually no Czech Government - it was dissolved a couple weeks ago by our local slime balls. (It's a stroke of irony, as Czechs are hosting the presidency of the EU. But I digress).
Thousands of people - probably around 30 thousand, came to see Barack Obama speak on the Prague Castle Square (Hradcanske Namesti). Security was predictably very very tight. No throwable objects were allowed, except phones, shoes, and cameras. No SLR cameras were allowed for some reason. As a result, the panorama you see here was shot without my normal equipment. Instead I had to borrow my friend's camera. This image was made in 75 shots. It is a fullly spherical panorama (except for the bottom). Be sure to click the link above to see the "spherical" version. It's worth it I promise ;-)
