Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

This shot is truly remarkable !
What amazingly high resolution.
Scrolling across it with the keyboard arrows is like taking a flight across the city and a fun test of one's knowledge of our landmarks.
What really underlines just how powerful the telephoto power is, is the snow on the mainland mountains, at least fifty miles east. To the right of our Mount Tolmie is a clear Mt. Baker, and to the left is a very large San Juan Island, showing just how close it is to us, appearing as if within our city limits.
Craigdarroch Castle sticks up on the horizon line just to the left of downtown.
Too cool !
Thanks a lot for this one Benjamin !
How beautiful!!!! You got Mt. Baker and the Olympics all in one shot!!!!!
High resolution is absolutely amazing!
Back in 2006, I took this 360 degree from the top of Christmas Hill.

It was just an experimental shot so I didn't clean it up.
Since then, I've been waiting for the perfect combination of late-afternoon clouds, light, atmospherics and a cruise ship parked at Ogden Point to happen. Under the right conditions you can see clear across to Port Angeles, Mt. Baker, etc.
This is a marvelous panorama. Thanks for the information on the software.

Neat panorama. I looked but I could not see the joins. I was discussing the technique this afternoon with picture framer I know, he had a couple on his workbench and we were not quite sure how it is done.
I would quite like to try this.
