The Round Tower was build by danish king Christian IV between 1637 and 1642 and is the oldest working observatory in Europe. The observation platform offers a splendid view of Copenhagen. Off Course you get an even better view when you mount your camera on a 6 meter high pole. Enjoy!
More than 130000 runners participated in this years edition of the DHL relay race in Copenhagen making it the biggest running event in the world. The event took place over five days with 5500 teams completing a 5×5 km relay race each day.
This panorama was shot with my pole roughly 6 meters above the ground. I decided not to go for an eye level panorama due to the amount of people that would have been blocking the view. Also, this birds eye view is very different from what the runners are experiencing.
Panoramas from Heimaey
Here is a small selection of panoramas I did while visiting Tenerife.
Panorama from the summit of Teide, a 3718 meter high active stratovolcano that last erupted in 1909. The volcano is located in the middle of the Teide National Park and has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A cable car takes visitors to a point only 200 m below the summit making Teide accesible to almost everybody. A special permit is needed to walk the last 200 m to the top in order to protect the fragile enviroment. The view from the top is splendid. Visibility depends on the weather, but 100+ km is possible and most if not all of the Canary Islands can be seen on a clear day. Also, volcanic fumes are visible on the top and there is a fantastic smell of sulfur.
And here is one of Teide, Pico Viejo and Cañadas.
