I love panoramic pictures.  I always end up scanning through panoramic flickr pools or widescreen desktop images in my free time, but I equally enjoy stitching my own together after visiting some place worthy of that expanded perspective.  Photographs that capture an angle or just an image we couldn’t naturally see always pique my interest the most.

I’m sorry this picture is massive, but it’s the full size image. This is probably one of my favorite images and after putting it on Wikipedia, it has been interesting to watch it utilized for fun, false and featured nomination purposes.  I added this picture today because I just noticed that it was nominated to be a featured image and some of the feedback was quite entertaining.  Comments included:
“This image is encyclopedic, educational, and above all, cute.”
“Mhh… It doesn’t seem to have many toes on the ground, only the heels, indeed seems to be a bit of an unnatural (not so alive) balancing technique for a sitting position like that.”
“I can see its nuts!”

This lucky lad also stars in a terrible YouTube video which has somehow been reposted all over the internet.
