Unfortunately I forgot what e-mail I got this form but the panorama at 
http://www.pinkheadedbug.com/paw/images/yongedundaslarge.jpg is just plain 
amazing.  I've had it as an active desktop item for about a week.  Each day 
I look at it and move it to a slightly different part.  The thing I love 
about it so much is the individual stories of each person and how they go 
about there lives without noticing each other.  The photographer must have 
been noticing just little quirks about each one and skillfully put them all 
together.  It starts with the girl at the far left who is glaring at the 
taxi, a common activity in big cities.  Then there is the adventurous guy 
in his dirty brown coat, staring out at the world around him(or watching 
for traffic).  He doesn't care what others think of him as his hair blows 
all out of place and he strives for his next goal. Standing directly behind 
is the GAP bag carrying fake blonde, secure in his designer cloths.  He is 
carefully watched by the bundled up girl surrounded by her distracted 
family.  Past the slightly lost man in a black coat is the scowling lady in 
red.  Time has worn away her pretenses but she is still going ahead, she 
stands out in the red and makes an undeniable landmark in the photo.  The 
man on the bike is inconsequential but makes an excellent stop gap for the 
photo.  These are just little things that jumped out at me saying there was 
a genius behind the camera.  This was obviously not just an arbitrary 
panorama but a collage of street photos that technology let us see as 
one.  Whoever took this photo, thank you very much.

David
