A friend sent me some photos from this website. Well, an hour later, I'm finally getting around to making this post. This is the most incredible collection of birdseye, panoramic, and direct photos, as well as 360 degree views and videos that I've ever seen.
AirPano is a not-for-profit project created by a team of Russian photo enthusiasts focused on taking high-resolution aerial panoramic photographs. Although we usually photograph from a helicopter, we also like to shoot from an airplane, a dirigible, a hot air balloon, and a radio-controlled helicopter. Today AirPano is the largest resource in the world – by geographical coverage, number of aerial photographs, and artistic and technical quality of the images — featuring 360° panoramas of the highest quality shot from a bird's eye view.
Since the beginning of the project, AirPano team has created panoramas of majority of the most interesting and significant places and cities of the Earth. There are about 3000 aerial panoramas on our website showing more than 300 famous locations of our planet, including North Pole, Antarctica, Mariana Trench, and even the Earth's view from the stratosphere. New virtual tours are published on www.Airpano.com every week.
Unlike viewing a traditional photograph limited by its frame, or watching a film that follows its director's idea, a spherical panorama gives you a freedom of being on location, where you can turn around 360° and have a closer look at every detail.
