Black Rock City in Gigapan

A stunningly detailed Gigapan image of Black Rock City (Burning Man)
. This was made by Rich Gibson. Gigapan is a technology (partly financed by our kindly Google overlords) that enables the creation of very large, very detailed photographs using an ordinary camera. Most people were introduced to the technology by this image of Obama's inauguration.

Our BRC neighbor Jorge brought this image to our attention and was kind enough to zoom in on the area of our camps for this detail:
Burning Man - Our Camp

Here, I've annotated the bits:
Burning Man - Our Camp - annotated

I think the photo was shot on Thursday, since Kyle arrived midweek, and that white shade structure collapsed on Friday.

Several more Burning Man Gigapans.
