Vor dem Erlebnis, den eigenen Garten mit einem ansehnlichen Ergebnis fotografieren zu können, ist ungemein viel Arbeit in diesen Garten zu stecken. Wenn dann auch noch die Natur mitspielt, goldenes Licht und bunte Blätter schenkt, war es die Mühe wert.

On the Saturday of Nov 24, 1973 a United States Navy airplane (C-47 SkyTrain also known as “Dakota”) was forced to land on Sólheimasandur’s black sandy beach in the south of Iceland. The crew survived the landing and the airplane’s remains are still standing at the crash site. The black sand makes the wreckage scene look very dramatic like it was taken out of some apocalyptic zombie movie. If you want to take photos yourself of the crash site, you’ll have to take a GPS with you and type in those coordinates: 63.459523,-19.364618Find more: http://www.amazingplacesonearth.com/airplane-wreckage-iceland/More panos from Icalend: http://janstraka.com/iceland360

Anhumas Abyss, Bonito, Brazil. Panorama made by Marcio Cabral

 

We are still wondering how the photographer could get in to this cave with all the necessary photography equipment. Read the  description to guess how.

This is the second time that a 360Cities picture made by Marcio Cabral has been featured on the Bing.com homepage. Needless to say, Marcio is one of the 360Cities Maestros.

The Münchener Eiszauber (Munich Ice Magic) is Munich's largest open air ice rink. It is usually open from late November until late January every winter.  In recent years they are continuing to dig the new U-Bahn station there so the rink is at Karlplatz Stachus instead. Cooling technology allows the ice rink to stay open so long as air temperatures remain below 10 degrees Celsius. (Source: http://www.toytowngermany.com/lofi/index.php/t26461.html)

We’ve just upgraded our maps to to the new Google Maps API and there are  a couple of improvements

which we’d like you to be aware of:

- Maps tiles load faster and transitions are smoother when you move around and zoom.

- The user experience for touch screens is greatly improved. Now the map does not jump

around randomly when you move around.

 

 

 

You will notice the difference when surfing in the 360Cities map, in the area pages, in your account page and in the “Find a photographer” map.

 

 

Keep discovering our amazing Panoramic World with 360Cities maps!

Goblin Valley is in Emery County Utah about 50 road-miles southwest of Green River, Utah.  Goblin Valley is a State Park thus a small fee is collected at the entrance.  There are no hiking trails in the park, the area is all open hiking, allowing the visitor to go wherever they like and climb on whatever they like.  The park also hosts a campground.
