This image is the view out of one of my colleague's office at the Institute of Telematics at the University of Karlsruhe. The picture is taken to the west, in the direction of Karlsruhe's famous market place which features a small pyramide.

After Martin Drozda told me about the benefits of high resolution (see the blog), this is my first attempt ever at "(Faked) Digital Large Format" photography, i.e. producing images with a resolution beyond 100 Megapixel by stitching numerous images together. A total of 30 exposures where made and aligned in 5 rows and 6 colums, yielding a 133 Megapixel image. It's still a long way to go for breaking the Gigapixel, but the amount of detail in this image already is quite impressive (see the image details for viewing unscaled 100% crops of the original image).
