- Th0Rr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38You are right! I made some quick edits, SimCity 5000 look to it, check this:
http://flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=344441292&size=o - cheez, on 10/12/2007, -7/+31I think the (PHOTO) is redundant
- Guard, on 10/12/2007, -4/+26I see... buildings. And water + bridge! OMG!
*mind blown* - musters, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21That pic makes NY look ugly
- TheGuy20, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Because it's a panorama of Manhattan not of Brooklyn. 360 would include Brooklyn as well.
- quasipalm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Here I am, sitting in the middle of that giant beautiful city... wasting time at work reading digg.
It's easier to see life on a computer screen I guess. Plus, the internet doesn't smell like pee. ;-) - TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16...for me to poop on.
- Chewie67, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15I wouldn't call it mindblowing, but it is a nice pic.
- pxa270, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Wikipedia has a better pic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:NYC_Top_of_the_Rock_Pano.jpg - fishbert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12That's funny... I remember actually being able to see the *sky* when I was in Chicago.
I would agree that NYC has a better smogline, though. - dpcdomino, on 10/12/2007, -7/+18Couldn't pick a clearer day to take the picture? Or maybe this was a clear day in NYC....
- Coven, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11The picture looks to have been taken from 1 Hanson Place (AKA Williamsburgh Savings Bank Building). An absolutely incredible image.
- Gwydion, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15zing!
- DiggLord, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Right click and set as your background, it looks so trippy! (make sure its stretched not centered)
- dpcdomino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9That is actual a trans fat and smoke deprived stress cloud.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+17For whenever the bandwidth allotment is eaten, here's another mirror:
http://img66.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nycpanoramavy6.jpg - Huevoos, on 10/12/2007, -7/+16I prefer the Paris at night panoramic pic that was digged a while ago
http://digg.com/design/Huge_Paris_by_Night_Panoramic_Image_15_000_X_520_Pixels - Mand0lesi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I have a similar panoramic photo of Paris. It'd be nice to see all the major cities.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+19*****. After checking the image source I realize this will probably go down whether it gets frontpaged or not. Oh well, enjoy while you can.
- wild, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Its amazing just how much the skyline misses the twin towers.
- austindkelly, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11What I find even more amazing is that even after 450+ diggs whatever server this is hosted on is still very responsive. If i could i would digg twice, once for the killer image and a second for the stable server and fat pipe.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7A nice picture, but hardly "mindblowing."
- ashwinmudigonda, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11WTF is mindblowing about it? Its an average pan stitched using a few pics. Its not even evenly exposed or interesting.
- Coven, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7yeah that's pretty much as clear as it gets 'round here
- PathDaemon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Ooh, let me do the same for the natural world where I was vacationing at Christ-day (Romero Canyon, the Catalinas in Arizona):
http://external.pathdaemon.com/catalinapano.jpg - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The (PHOTO) was to notify people that it was a direct link to an image.
- ahhhrn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It's clearly not from 9/11. I can see the Bloomberg Tower in midtown which wasn't finished until '04.
- jdanielcaldwell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Chicago's just jealous
- Stenosis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Nose blown.
- NtHammer, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8ya, all that SMOG is so beautiful, i think ill move there!
- flavorice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Needs about 2 more inches on the left to see me waving from my roof.
- kifler, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Smog much?
- PatrickX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I grew up near Chicago and now live in Manhattan so I can actually compare the two skylines. The Chicago skyline is pretty but it is nowhere near as massive as even just Manhattan's, where there are skyscrapers literally stretching for miles. The air in such a huge city obviously isn't perfect but this pic does make it look a lot worse than it is.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5*Cue fireworks with climax of Rhapsody in Blue with Woody Allen's neurotic ramblings*
New York > Everywhere else. - Tetranitrate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4My college (Polytechnic) is just to the left of the chase building on the far left of the photo. Going to college in Brooklyn is so much fun, who else can say they've smoked a joint on the Brooklyn Bridge in between classes.
- theOster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4prob don't see much of anything in WV...
- wild, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I love the block user button.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Beryl Skydome image anyone? :)
- mindsocket, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@tlgjames
If you like Tokyo, then you might prefer this pano:
http://digitalarts.mindsocket.com.au/tokyo_pano/ - agarc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Having recently moved to Manhattan, I have to say that this is definitely not the most flattering photo of NYC. However, it does give a good idea of its size. If you want a great view of the city from the ground, take a taxi from midtown (through the Midtown Tunnel). When you're outside of the tunnel, look behind and you get a pretty good view of the skyline. It's especially beautiful at dusk.
I also have to say that the air quality is not that bad. Manhattan really surprises me. We've had pretty amazing weather here so far this winter. There have been numerous days where the sky is crystal clear blue. Of course, if the photo was taken during the summer, the smog levels may have been higher.
Also, you can't compare the size of other cities to Manhattan... you have to also include the other boroughs. It really does make Chicago seem small. - Coven, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4hop on a boat, go about 2 or 3 miles out to sea and look back at the city. on a clear day, you'll see a yellow-brown haze hanging over the metro area. it is absolutely disgusting. of course i'd never have it any other way. i love nyc
- gamabunta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Looks more like pollution to me.
- ahhhrn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Would have been better if it had been taken in the early morning with the sun behind the photographer to avoid blowing out the entire left side of the shot. A night pic would have been awesome too.
- DiggsOnlyNeoCon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Awesome ... anyone ever flown over NYC at nighttime? Awesome.
- Coven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3people just don't get it. that IS a more clear day!
- 98acura, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8well don't worry... they're gonna have the "freedom tower" to replace them... gag me with a rubber ***** spoon... Should have rebuilt the towers only taller
- simpleid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I actually did not know how big New York was exactly, how developed... this is IMMENSE. This really is pretty impressive to me, thanks a lot! Now I actually want to go there, I bet it's absolutely overwhelming to be in an area so dense.
I wonder now, how big Tokyo really is.... :
I should go travel more.... - caliyankee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Big up BK!
