I've taken lots of panoramics, but rarely 360 degrees (there are so few places that are interesting in every direction and I happen to have my tripod with me. Perhaps that will change after some of these inspirational views: The product of eleven years of hiking, exploring, and VR photography, VirtualParks.org is a successful proof of concept that showed high quality panoramas could excite people about our wild places. Since 1995, millions of people have visited this site and gotten a glimpse of what it's like to visit incredible wilderness locales such as Kings Canyon, Crater Lake, Yosemite, Banff, Zion, Arches, Big Basin, Mono Lake and hundreds of other parks & preserves.

FWIW, the image is from one approach to South Sister (the highest feature on the horizon), with Broken Top to the right. The body of water is Moraine Lake.
