Highest Resolution Picture

18 Giga Pixels City View

Today this is the photo with the highest resolution ever taken in a city. Printed with regular photo quality it would be more than 50 feet wide!

A stunning experience is this photo taken in Prague. You can use the Google Earth like controls to wonder around in 360 degrees and zoom in to people's kitchen, literally (wondering when privacy issues mount over there).

Find thousands of 360 degrees photos at the site here.

UPDATE July 2010: Technology advances!Now you can enjoy an even higher resolution 26 Giga Pixel online photography of Paris and some other cities. Send me your links if you find other exciting high res stuff online.

Also, check out my own photo galleries of varies cities I traveled to over the years and my top selection of most exciting shots.
