Panoramarama

You can see the scenery on just about any street these days, thanks to Google Street View. Simply go to Google maps (maps.google.com), type in the street address and click the ‘street view’ link, and you’ve got access to the 360° view of just about any street address you can think of. Very clever. But what about all those places Street View doesn’t go to? Inside the Vatican? The Great Wall of China? The summit of Mount Everest?I’ve you’ve always wanted to see the seven wonders, but couldn’t afford the plane ticket, so here’s the next best thing: 16 of the coolest panorama views on the planet (and a few off it).
