Panorama of a hilltop above Segantini Hutte in Switzerland, St. Moritz area
Comments: The day dawned
clear and beautiful. The ride up to Muottas Muragl went smoothly. Almost
to Alp Languard there is a small restaurant off the trail. From here I
went up a very steep trail to the hill above the Segantini Hutte. While
a lot of people were hanging out at the Hutte drinking bier and eating
wurst, I saw some odd formations off to the right and scrambled over to
them. They
turned
out
to be rock
piles. In the distance you can see so many peaks besides the inviting Bernina
massif (which is the snowy range to the right of the largest rockpile).
I could have stayed here all day, but alas, had to go back down the mountain.
Viewing Options:
The panorama is presented much like all the free panoramas
on my site, except it has more detail.
FullScreen
VRs provide greater immersion in the scene. Instead of appearing inside
a browser window, the VR is opened using the QuickTime Player. The panorama
is
then displayed the full width of your monitor, and all other windows are
blacked out (temporarily). It's hard to describe how incredible the impact
is, especially on a larger monitor. You still use your mouse to navigate
around. When you are done looking at the
scene,
press
the "esc" (or
Escape) key and your normal desktop will return. (Click
