Panoramas
Jonas Buchli`s recent post of a panoramic photo on the paragliding forum set me hunting for some 3D Panorama software. If you have some digital photos that can be arranged to make a panorama I would love to get my hands on them and add them to the site. It would be nice to build a small collection of paragliding launch sited from around the world...
