Earlier quoted context omitted.

hundreds or thousands of pictures stitched together. they use a motorised "tripod" to move the camera.

Yep, I was wondering the same thing until I noticed that the traffic was a bit off... You'll notice the same cars appearing in multiple sections of the image https://i.imgur.com/Jz4JmZM.jpg

Could the car have moved at the same time as the camera, such that it appeared in two different pictures which were later stitched together?

Am I the only one who gets a "FATAL ERROR: 404" message? I tried from different browsers on different devices. Wonder if they just block some countries?

Just checked, and it's down for me now (Bay area, California) whereas it was up earlier. Looks like Gigapan is down, too.

I love how clearly you can see the smog. Really cool pic though.

I would actually love to find a game that uses one of these "gigapixel" images. Who can find this person? :) https://ibb.co/5Y72GGG
