However, these areas are still wide enough to allow even as fat a bike contraption as the one pictured. <br /><br />One location I really want to see, close up, is the Leaning Tower in Pisa, Italy, and for that a bicycle would be perfect since you can't get very close except on foot.<br /><br />For indoors, where not even a bicycle would be allowed - it would probably be more practical to use just one camera. Fantastic panoramas such as those available at 360cities.net appear to be taken by just one camera. It would involve more work once the photos are captured but it's not like they would have to stitch together a bunch of photos like those of the streets.claudia64https://www.blogger.com/profile/06681411526334465529noreply@blogger.com
