Best of the Best Winter State Parks: "I compiled a list of the ' Best of the Best' Winter State Parks by contacting each of the 50 state park directors and asking them to select 2-3 'must see' parks in their respective states.

Best of 2005 World Wide Panorama event! Simply submit the best VR panorama (or object movie) that you photographed during 2005. • Photography must have been done between December 31, 2004 and December 28, 2005. If your ambition is to photograph on this New Year's Eve, a special arrangement can be made, but no guarantee that your pano will appear on the site when it debuts on January 1. This event is open to all. The final site will be made public on January 1, 2006. We hope to have press releases in several languages available for distribution at that time. http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/wwp/practical/NextEvent.html The World Wide Panorama is sponsored by the Geography Computing Facility at the University of California Berkeley. This site is hosted by The Geo-Images Project. This is a non-commercial project, done simply to create enthusiasm for VR photography, and provide an outlet for our collective creativity. 6:58:25 AM
