I haven't had a post for a while so I threw this one together from some old images. The planets were made from two 360 panoramas from Egypt. The one on the left was taken on the shore of a salt lake in the Bahariya Desert. The one on the right was...

Stonehenge

nobody@vox.com(Jason) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 23:39:00 +0100
