    BT Press release February 20, 2013

    For the nfo page...

    The panorama itself

    Gigapixel wiki --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigapixel_image

    There is also a competition to find "Buzby" BT's yellow bird icon, find it in the pano to enter a competition. It's fairly easy to find, I found it in under 3 mins.

    I wont post it here and spoil the fun but if anyone cannot find it, pm me and as I have a screenshot of where it is.

      Amazing Steve. I don't recognize any buildings now, it's a long time since I worked in London. :)

      Thanks Steve! What an incredible photograph.
      There's three million more people living there than in the whole of Scotland.

        I can not even find BT Tower, let alone Buzby :-)

        That's because in the photo you are standing atop the BT tower Jack :biggrin:

        I can't find Buzby too, but life's too short to go flying round London looking for an overweight blonde bird.

          To find Buzby...easily, open the panorama and scroll (not zoom) the picture down so you can see where they could not take photo's of the building itself (ie the base of the tower).

          Now just scroll around the base of the tower looking for a blob of yellow...should take you no more than 30 secs...

          Now zoom into buzby and click on him/her/it.

          Steve...:)
