by RobertzOslo "White nights of midsummer. In Norway, midsummer witch its long, white nights is the most magical and bewitching time of the year. Not only are these nights magical. According to folklore, midsummer is also the most powerfull night of the year. As a result, suprisingly many babies are said to be born in March and April. There's no midnight sun in Oslo (you have to go up north a bit for that), but it's not dark out. June 21st. 1.00 a.m. Latitude 59,91N Sunset 10.44 p.m. Sunrise 3.54 a.m. Lenght of day 18h50m01s Total "sunlight time" 22h18m"

The Alhambra in Granada, Spain, at dusk

Fri, 12 Oct 2012 09:55:22 Z

by MagiView "The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada (Andalusia, Spain), on the top of the hill of the Assabica on the city's southeastern border. Construction started during the mid 10th century by the Berber ruler Badis ben Habus of the Kingdom of Granada in al-Andalus. Later, Islamic palaces were built for the last Muslim Emirs of the Nasrid dynasty. After the Reconquista by the Catholic kings in 1492, some portions were used by the Christian rulers. Notably, Charles V added a palace within the Nasrid fortifications in 1527. The Alhambra is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is a pano of 4 photos shot hand held, leaning on a wall, from the Mirador San Nicolas in the Albayzín district (see http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=098383b0-9157-403d-87d9-e51dac9cfdba). I used a Nikon D800 with a 28-300mm zoom at 100mm. It was stitched with ICE then reworked and uploaded with Photoshop. See the same view shot at sunset at http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=bd1fdcd0-3324-4c13-a4e7-b176b2de5d28 See also a late afternoon view of Granada and the Alhambra shot from the same viewpoint at: http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=6b3ba086-8acf-44ff-9edc-91b9ad612572"

Dawn on snowy Josaphat Park (Brussels)

by Brusilia "Josaphat Park is a public park located in the municipality of Schaerbeek in Brussels, Belgium. It was designed by Edmond Galoppin and inaugurated by King Leopold II in 1904. It usually gets covered with snow only a few days a year, generally cloudy ones. However in January 2013, it remained snowy for two weeks and there happened to be one clear and sunny morning where luckily, I was there to shoot it! This pano is a stitch of 14 photos shot 30 minutes before sunrise from the 34th floor of the nearby Brusilia building in Brussels, using a Nikon D800 with a 50mm lens and a Ninja 5 pano head. It covers a span of about 146° horizontally. It was generated with ICE then saved as PSB. See also my 4 Gigapixels high-resolution pano of the Josaphat Park shot in the afternoon at http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=e6f24dca-6178-4d55-94d1-cd623cd3770c"
