A 360 Degree Trip Down Route 66

.
This has been a merging of hobbies for me. First, my chemical photography hobby morphed into digital and then merged into my Apple Computer hobby. Then, after I acquired sufficent panoramic technology (camera, lens, etc) to allow the timely generation of QTVR spherical panoramas possible, my Route 66 hobby was rekindled and was merged also. Now I have a hobby of documentation of Old US Route 66 using panoramas, although now technology has continued its march and the format is HTML5.

Below, I have inventoried the panoramas I have produced on 66 in geographic order east to west as if it was being travelled. These are the same panoramas that are in the Route 66 part of this web site but without any normal still photograpy.

I hope you enjoy the 360 degree trip down 66.
