I went to niagra falls. It was crazy so much water coming down. I wish I could be there it was amazing. It was so cool it let me look at it during sunset.
Sochi 2014, opening ceremony. I observed all the matches and the funny people. The images made me think of the awesome winter olympic events. the website was really cool because you got to look around a lot of the places in famous landmarks.
I looked at the closing olympic ceremony. It was really cool I learned a few things like there was about 40.000 people in the ceremony. The images showed me how big the fish stadium. The pictures also remedied me of all the also me new event. I saw that the light were the coolers of the Amirican flag.
In all I thought the website was amazing . I find it so cool that someone would think of doing this. The pictures were amazing, and I think I liked them all. I observed the beautiful landscape, the pyramids and what surrounded it.I looked at the Maya Pyramids in Chichen Itza, Mexico. The picture made me think of a forest at sunset (at least the landscape did.)
Ernest B I liked a picture named Fisht Olympical Stadium in Russia. They played awesome fireworks and there were a lot of people. The fire works made me think of the fourth of july.
The name of the panorama I was looking at is named Dominican Republic - Caribbean Paradise. I observed the Isla Catalina beach. The images made me think of the resort that I went to in Dominican Republic. I think the website is pretty cool and the pictures are amazing.
Were my panorama was was in the winter olympics.
What I observed is there was a lot of lights. What the image made me think of is the olympic summer games in london is 2012, I went to that one. My thought about the website is it is like you are in a different place in the world.
I did not get to watch or see a video/picture because i was at the nurse and got late to computers.I went on the web site and tried to watch a video.5 minutes later it said no plug in.Then i tried the second time and it was a blank screen.Im sorry that i couldn't watch or see a video/picture.
I like the XXII Olympic Winter Games. I though the camera job was really well done. I though it looked really pretty especially the Olympic Flame in the evening. But besides that, I though all of it was just really well done I really thought I should've been there myself to watch.
I thought the video was really cool. I saw the video of the volcano and I thought it was cool how the volcano was spewing out smoke. people were on the side. it showed the view around the volcano. There where lakes and fields and hiking trails. I thought that everything seemed so small compared to the volcano.
i looked at a temple in jordan. there were candles everywhere. there was a small room in the temple. the images made me think of a palace carved into a mountain i read about. the panoramas are very cool. i think it was a great idea to start the website.
the videos where great! I looked at a underwater cave, and it was awesome! there was a lot of ice and rocks. the video really gives you the inside scoop of what a underwater cave really looks like. also, I looked at manhattan, and I never realized how many buildings there actually was. manhattan looks really cool from a birds eye view these videos made me think of being a photographer when I grow up!
I went to Cancun Mexico. I observed that there where a lot of beaches. It made me think of when I go to the beach at Coney island. I thought that the video was amazing.
I checked the pyramid from Izta Mexico.The thing that I observed was how it looks like up in the air.I saw what the places was called and how it looks like.The images that I saw made me think of how the pyramid looked like in a birds eye view.
I like the cancun in mexico. It is really cool. It reminds me of the pool.
Today I went to Manhattan. I have never seen Manhattan the way I saw today. Probably because I saw it from a bird's eye view. The images showed me how cool it would be to be a bird, and how birds see many amazing things from many different angles. I really like the website www.airpano.com. It really shows you many amazing sites when you don't get a chance to see them in real life. It really does make you feel like you went to that place, sort of like a book transports you to the places of your dreams but in your mind and imagination.
The name of the location is Maya Pyramids, Chinchen Itza Mexico. The things that i observed were the pyramids the warriors and the temples. The images that made me think were when the warrior picture came up i did not know there were warrios in Mexico. My thoughts and ideas about the website and pictures in general were the pictures of the warrios the different pictures of the pyramids those are the thoughts and ideas about the website and pictures in general.
The panorama i best liked was the angle of independence mexico city.I likes it because it's my home country and i love mexico. I'm mexican my family's mexican my brother and sister are to.But there's barley any people on the street's, almost all of them travel in car.I also saw saw the lady of Guadalupe.Every thing actually looks awesome some day i wanna go there and live there.in my opinion no city is better then mexico city.
I looked at a panorama called Petra, Jordan. I observed a temple, and this cave type of structure with beaming lights that had an orange glow with people praying around it. The images made me think that the world is beautiful. My thoughts about the website and the photos are the photos are very interesting because it helps learn about the world by a pictorial representation. The website itself is put together is wonderful because I can find everything without a problem. I do not have any ideas on this subject because everything I can think of they already have it.
The panorama I saw was the Church of Intersection in Germany. It reminded me of DisneyLand or Disney World because of the castle that was on the island. I observed the island, the building, and the water the water was a nice blue. The castle was very beautiful. My thoughts about the website are there are things in the world that you could never get to see. I think the pictures were amazing.
the name of my location is Dominican republic, caribbean paradise.
the things that I noticed was the beautiful blue waters, the trees on the beach, and the boats and palm trees.
the images me think of Jamaica and the pretty beaches off the caribbean sea.
my thoughts in general were the pictures of the water and that really was outstanding and thats what stood out to me
I couldn't watch the video
I really liked the Niagara falls. The thing i observed is the water fall.It reminds me of the prospect park water fall.
I did the XXII Olympic Winter Games, i observed the fountain and the background. The background looked like a festival. I saw some tents on the left and maybe a market on the right.i also saw some people.The fountain looked really nice, it's size gets bigger starting from the street and ends up to the fire
I loved the video because you can see almost anywhere in this website.I thought hat the winter olympic one was beyond amazing. you could go and see the hockey rink and zoom in so close. I also loved going to Jordan. I loved this one because you could go in this big praying temple.I went to mexico and saw so many big buildings and famous land marks. that is my comment.
I chose the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. I noticed the rubble on the pyramids, like a curtain of moss. It made me think of dessert. I chose the Colosseum in Rome. I noticed the broken-down structure. It made me think of April because in that month I am going to Rome. I think the website is cool.
I thought Rome Italy was beyond amazing.The colosseum was really cool to think actual gladiators fought there.I thought the incredible amount of seats was amazing.Outside the Colosseum is really really fancy with well cut grass and paths.That is all I have to say.
I choose the Winter Olympics in Sochi Russia. I observed that everyone was cheering for everyone else. I also noticed that no one saw the picture being taken from above them. It made me think of maybe a rainbow because everyone was wearing colorful jackets and some people even painted their face the color of their countries flag! I thought the website was pretty cool and the pictures were incredible I still don't get how they took them!
The one I picked was Shanghai. The things I observed were all the skyscrapers and lights. The images make me think about Manhattan and all the lights and buildings they have too. I thought the website was really cool. Every single picture is really cool.
The name of my location is Manhattan,New York USA.One thing that I observed was the tall building and how busy it was. I also observed all the lights and also the very cool sunset.It reminded me of myself and my family sitting on our couch relaxing watching a movie on a very cold winter sunset/night.My thoughts are if it took a very long time to make it.
I Chose the XlllOlympics in NewYork. There was about
400,000 people there.
The name of the panorama is peter,st. petersburg. It is location is in Russia. I observed that the church looks big and that it is really beautiful place. The image made me think of Italy. I think that the website and pictures are ok.
I chose the SOCHI winter olymipics in, Russia. I observed the crowd, and the venue was very colorful because of the lighting. I thought the websitte was awesome!
I clicked on top hotels in turkey it is the most nice place in the world I totally want to go there some time
I looked around the Great Wall of China.It looked so real!The Great Wall is also so long!I wish that I can go to China one day.That is all I have to say.
I clicked on vatican city state i totally want to go there for vatican it looks so nice
The location I chose is Niagara Falls, Canada USA. An observation I made was how the color of the waterfall was different from the color of the regular water. The image reminds me of when you jump in the pool and water slashes everywhere. Altogether, i think the website is really cool.
I looked at the 2014 Sochi winter olympic photos. It made me think that I was there looking around for myself in Sochi Russia. Also it was really cool to look at places all over the world.
I saw Niagara falls and it was so cool i saw a water fall and buildings one had a big staue.I also saw cars and some shops
I looked at Sevastopol, Crimea. I observed the beaches also i observed the sea/ocean. I observed the sky and the sun.The image made me think of paradise. It also makes me think of awesomeness.I think it is pretty good but it takes to much time to loud and the pictures get fuzzy.
The panorama i saw was The Trip to The North Pole.I observed inside of the ship, the people and the way they were dressed,and all the pictures that there were.The image made me think of the winter.I think that it was cool. The website was amazing and so were the pictures.
I went to the Great Wall of China. It was really cool! I observed that the wall actually seemed to go on forever and ever, and that the clouds were really small-looking and weren't gathered together, just spread out unevenly. There were some people walking on the wall, I think they were tourists, and they looked like they were just shocked at the beauty of the scenery. The image made me think of California because of all the hills. It looked like the landscape where the Hollywood sign is. I thought the website was super cool and probably took a tremendous amount of time and effort to piece together. I also thought the panoramas were amazing and really interesting.
