17 Gigapixel Photos

Are you tired of your standard vacation photos in 1024*768 or perhaps 2272*1704 (4 megapixel, 2,5 MB)? How about 214,414*80,571 (17 giga(!)pixel and 95GB)?

I found the video of this HUGE picture on youtube (see below) and visited the website directly to zoom through the Yosemite National Park by my own. It’s amazing. You can find details in the picture that you didn’t even know existed when viewing the whole thing. Have a look and enjoy.

Zoom yourself
