We are pleased that the Bing.com homepage today  (13 May 2013) features yet another beautiful 360Cities panorama. This one is a lovely cave panorama made by 360Cities photographer  in Brazil. Congratulations to  again

 

Anhumas Abyss, Bonito, Brazil. Panorama made by Marcio Cabral

 

We are still wondering how the photographer could get in to this cave with all the necessary photography equipment. Read the  description to guess how.

This is the second time that a 360Cities picture made by Marcio Cabral has been featured on the Bing.com homepage. Needless to say, Marcio is one of the 360Cities Maestros.

The Münchener Eiszauber (Munich Ice Magic) is Munich's largest open air ice rink. It is usually open from late November until late January every winter.  In recent years they are continuing to dig the new U-Bahn station there so the rink is at Karlplatz Stachus instead. Cooling technology allows the ice rink to stay open so long as air temperatures remain below 10 degrees Celsius. (Source: http://www.toytowngermany.com/lofi/index.php/t26461.html)

We’re constantly working to improve the 360Cities Panoramic World experience whether you use computer or a touch screen device (smartphones and tablets).

 

 

We’ve just upgraded our maps to to the new Google Maps API and there are  a couple of improvements

which we’d like you to be aware of:

- Maps tiles load faster and transitions are smoother when you move around and zoom.

- The user experience for touch screens is greatly improved. Now the map does not jump

around randomly when you move around.

 

 

 

You will notice the difference when surfing in the 360Cities map, in the area pages, in your account page and in the “Find a photographer” map.

 

 

Keep discovering our amazing Panoramic World with 360Cities maps!

Goblin Valley is in Emery County Utah about 50 road-miles southwest of Green River, Utah.  Goblin Valley is a State Park thus a small fee is collected at the entrance.  There are no hiking trails in the park, the area is all open hiking, allowing the visitor to go wherever they like and climb on whatever they like.  The park also hosts a campground.

The next room decorated with a hanging scroll and a Japanese flora art is a parlor.The size of the living room is approximately 3.8 x 3.8 meters (12.5 x 12.5 ft). The parlor has the same size.

We’ve just launched a new MAESTRO badge recognizing a select group of photographers for their exceptional contribution to the 360Cities Panoramic World. The MAESTRO badge will be displayed right next to the EXPERT badge next to the photographer’s name.

 

 

We’ll be updating the MAESTRO list on a regular basis. If you have ambitions of becoming a 360Cities MAESTRO, you can contact one or more of them for inspiration – the easiest way to approach them is via the comments feature on the panorama pages. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the MAESTROs!
