The parade turns south from Osborn Drive onto Morrill Road. First of three images from this vantage point.
Check out the view in Google Earth, I think the geolocation is pretty accurate. Play with the transparency slider and see!

First of three images from this building. This one has too much roof in it.

After the parade, the focus of activities shifts to VEISHEA Village on central campus. Here is the second of three images from the top of Curtiss Hall.

This is the front of Beardshear Hall at the end of the parade. After the rain ended I got set up in a good vantage point just in time for the parade to be over. In the 5 minutes it took for the image most people had cleared out - that's why the left side is more populated.

DISCLAIMER: THIS WAS NOT SHOT WITH A GIGAPAN!
This was the image that got me hooked on panoramas, before I'd even heard of a gigapan! Taken with our Olympus E-510. Nine handheld shots from 9 different positions around the Golden Gallery, over 500 steps up from the main floor of the Cathedral. Merged and blended in Photoshop. Not as deeply zoomable as some, but a stunning shot just the same, IMHO.

Dubuque is the oldest city in Iowa, and has a rich rivertown heritage. Located at the intersection of Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin, the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River provide stunning vistas like this one.
The hilly terrain provided a challenge for early settlers. Enterprising citizen J.K. Graves built the first funicular-style elevator at Fourth Street, which remains in operation today. An additional elevator at 11th Street was never as successful and was eventually dismantled.
The "twins" in the photo are my sweetheart Lynne, we played a little gigapan trick!
After the Fourth Street elevator opens in April we'll return to capture the view from their observation platform.

This was a proof-of-concept image for me - my first "real" gigapan with my new EPIC unit and Canon G9 camera. Try zooming in to read the names engraved on the bricks! This is a high-traffic walking area on campus, and after a hard winter the engravings are filled with sand and very hard to read, but you can make some out if you try! When this area is clean and in bloom I'd like to return and give this location a proper treatment.
