Panoramics
|
| DIRECTIONS: There are both "2D" and "3D" panoramics available, with 2D images being able to rotate primarily in a horizontal direction only, while 3D panoramics can be rotated in both horizontal and vertical directions. After selecting a panoramic by clicking on any of the buttons (or alternate text links) below, the page with the panoramic will open and a period of time will pass with just the "Zoom Viewer" logo being displayed. It is during this time that the panoramic image and Java viewer is being downloaded to your PC's browser. Depending upon how large the file is (file size is indicated below the selection buttons) and how you connect to the Internet (telephone line modem, DSL or cable modem), the time to download will of course vary. Once the download has completed, the image will appear, replacing the Zoom Viewer logo, and will be spinning horizontally in a 360 degree circle. To stop the spinning, simply click anywhere on the image with your mouse pointer. You can then left-click and drag in any direction you'd like to view additional components of the image. You can also hold down the "Shift" or "Ctrl" key while dragging to zoom in or out of the image. You can also use the control buttons available on the viewer as well. These panoramas display using the Browser's Java capabilities. If you don't have Java support for your Browser installed on your PC, then you may experience difficulties viewing these panoramas. Newly implemented browser security features, such as blocking Java applets from working, etc., may foil your efforts to view these panoramas. If you don't have Java support (the Java Virtual Machine) on your PC, you can go HERE, then download and install the Sun Java Runtime file. |

29th. This 3D panorama was taken around 9am on the morning of the 29th. It
was still heavily overcast, so lighting was not optimal.

| This 3D panoramic is of the Beaver Creek
Resort Courtyard located to the north of the Park Hyatt Hotel, and was
taken at 9:00am (thus the long shadows) on the 6th of November 2004. Beaver Creek is located in
the mountain community of Avon, CO, just west of Vail along I-70.

| This 3D panorama consists of photos taken a few miles to
the north of Avon, CO, home of Beaver Creek Resorts, on the 5th of
November 2004 at around 1pm. More precisely, we
were located at N39 degrees 39.5205 min by W106 degrees 31.0237
minutes at an altitude of 8,829 feet. If you manipulate
the image so that you are looking almost into the sun, you will see ski
trails on the mountains below surrounding the resort area, with the town of
Avon, CO just north (towards you) of Highway 70. This file is rather large at
708KB, so
give it time to download from the web server and to set itself up in the
image viewer. Once loaded into the Java viewer, you can left-click on
the image to stop it from moving, then also you can click on the
image and drag in a direction to change the perspective of the
image.

| This 2D panoramic is of the Red Rocks Amphitheater located near
Golden and Morrison, CO. It was taken early in the morning
(9am), so the lighting wasn't the greatest.
|
| This 2D Panoramic is of the west-side of Rocky Mountain
National Park along Trail Ridge Road, and was taken on 5-18-2002. It is
provided in two resolutions to accommodate slower and faster modems. If
you are running a phone modem connection, then select the 222 kB file
size. If you are running a cable or DSL modem, you may find it worth while
to download the 598 kB version to enjoy a little higher image quality with
enhanced detail.

having beginnings in this panoramic endeavor. Check these nicely done
Powell River BC panoramics when you have a chance!
