This panoarama of Silicon Valley was shot from a helicopter 1500 feet over soutwest Sunnyvale, and shows a 360 degree view. Still some flaws since chopper panoramics are new and difficult.

Not a panorama, but a shot taken during my efforts to get a good Silicon Valley panorama. This shot however has been enhanced to remove the haze, to show what San Jose would look like if there were no pollution. Next winter, I will shoot a decent panorama like this.

This giant image was taken with Fuji Velvia from the top of Quimby Road at noon during the winter green season. It shows all of Silicon Valley. You can even see San Francisco, over 50 miles away, through the haze on the far right of the picture.

All of downtown San Jose, from the top of the Hilton. This view doesn't really exist, as I had to move around the hotel and play some tricks.
