The statue area usually is shown whenever they show the lighting of the Christmas tree and the ice skating (and David Letterman show prolly shows it once in a while).

LOL @ O

Ill have to try one of those vertical ones, no tall buildings here in farmland USA though!
In fact we just turned down a vote to add 5 story buildings in our area.
I think though my next project may be a horizontal view of Grand Valley University.

GVU is its own city =P

You could stand at the bottom of this and shoot upward at it.

@O Lol, yeah there is a resemblance! FTD is Mercury, so maybe Rockefeller is some other 'god'. It sort of looks like waves, but he doesn't really look like any Poseidon I've seen.
@Rod How about a silo? lol.

Well maybe it's Apollo (sun god) in Greek mythology. Maybe this looks more like that statue.

http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/1400/1459/apollo_5.htm

Later edit:

Says that statue is Prometheus, the god who stole fire from the gods and gave it to man. Zeus then punished him for his crime by having him bound to a rock while a great eagle ate his liver every day only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day.

That's a very nice job you're doing stitching your panoramas.

I use Hugin because it (mostly) makes it easy

my examples
