World's Biggest Digital Photo

If you haven't seen this yet, you must check it out, it's amazing! Just like on futuristic movies where they zoom in and enhance "impossibly", but this time it is possible because the image is 2.5 billion pixels!

There are some dodgy bits (like people cut in half) as it was stitched together from multiple pictures but this only adds to the geeky enjoyment of surfing the picture :D

Yeah, saw this the other day after following it from the BBC website. Some great litle details to be found (you can see the time on the clock on the spire centre top). But the cars parked on the left are very distorted; I think they are for people with really long legs!
