Stupendous!
What is the small wheel like thing sticking out at the bottom (!) of the Earth?
Technically is it possible to take a photograph like this, as the Photographer will be at a point in the Earth?
Snapper Chris Kotsiopoloulos created the 360 degree shot from sunrise to sunset in Sounio, Greece.
He spent 30 hours overlooking a beautiful rural vista to prepare and capture the amazing panoramic, taking hundreds of images which were later stitched together.
And he was forced to use a HAIRDRYER to keep the lens from getting too moist.
Patient Chris said: “I had to stay in the same place alone for 30 hours in total to get everything right, prepare and take the pictures.
“At night it became even more difficult because I had to keep my eyes open and inspect the camera lens for moisture.
“The temperature dropped to about three degrees Celsius, so this wasn’t very easy.
“I was equipped with a hairdryer in order to use it on the lens in case of moisture.
“Fortunately, I have a very understanding wife who almost never complains.”
The repressed anger of the people against the Governments being run by proxy by Corporates is understandable.
While austerity measures are meant for the ordinary Joe, the Corporates go scot free.Take the instance of Goldman Sach-.The Comany had to be bailed out by the government, but the executives granted themselves Bonus.It required the arm twisting of Obama to make them drop the move.
By reckless spending the Corporates squander money, borrow outrageous loans from financial institutions with the help of crooked auditors and cooked books,evade taxes,get themselves paid enormously and post losses, which is only in the books.
Then they approach the Financial Institutions additional loans to help them pay the original loan.Banks, afraid of losing the original loan advances them more and yet the corporates fail again.
Then they go the Government ,blackmail them stating that the economy will be ruined and unemployment will rise.
The Government ,partly because of economic non sense and partly because they need corporates‘ money for election offer a bail out.
This is the story through out the world.
Now for a failing airlines owned by Liquor baron in India the Government is arm twisting the banks into lending him with out sufficient security and is also considering a bail out.
For all this shenanigans the financial institutions are hands in glove with the corporates.
Unless this is checked, ordinary working people will be in the streets.
These atrocious greed of the corporates makes one ,despite one’s revulsion,to think of Communism as an alternative.
The Occupy Wall street Movement must be supported by all those who think right and it has to be led properly to end the menace of Corporate greed.

The group acknowledged that the idea of a sophisticated, flourishing society existing in Greece more than two millennia ago was a complete fiction created by a team of some two dozen historians, anthropologists, and classicists who worked nonstop between 1971 and 1974 to forge “Greek” documents and artifacts.
“Honestly, we never meant for things to go this far,” said Professor Gene Haddlebury, who has offered to resign his position as chair of Hellenic Studies at Georgetown University. “We were young and trying to advance our careers, so we just started making things up: Homer, Aristotle, Socrates, Hippocrates, the lever and fulcrum, rhetoric, ethics, all the different kinds of columns—everything.”
The problem ,apart from financial solutions, needs political Will of the EU as the economies of the EU countries are interlinked and the fact is that some Nations like France, Germany have to bear the cost of PIIGS(Potugal,Italy,Ireland,Greece,and Spain).Let’s see how artificial Union stands up?
Story:
Governments in Athens, Madrid and Lisbon struggled on Friday to quell fears of a looming debt crisis in Europe that is pummeling the euro and rippling across global markets, as authorities vowed to impose fiscal austerity and plug their yawning budget deficits. The problem, however, is that investors don’t appear to believe them. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/05/AR2010020504411.html?hpid=topnews
