India, 360 Degrees at a Time, Part Four

Here's the fourth part of my ongoing series.

After Hampi we went to Bangalore to attend foss.in. (Fantastic conference, btw. The concerts at the venue are unparalleled.) From there we flew up to Udaipur, in Rajasthan. Udaipur is (among other things) famous for being the place where the central scenes of Octopussy were filmed. Octopussy's famous white palace is on Jagniwas Island in Lake Pichola:

This panorama was taken from another island in the lake, Jagmandir Island, which is visible in the following shot on the left:

That's all for Udaipur, tomorrow I'll post more panoramas, from other stops of our trip.

Your blog seems to be syndicated slightly differently in Planet Gnome and Planet Freedesktop. The permalink in Planet Gnome includes a trailing .html whereas the freedesktop one doesn't. Since I subscribe to both planets on Google Reader I get your posts twice as it can't see they are the same. Any way you could fix this?

Thanks,

Pedro

thanks for this - i once spent a number of beautiful days in udaipur. we were able to witness a wedding on Jagmandir Island, and to this day if i really had to do a huge wedding, i've always dreamed about going back there.

also love hugin! I occasionally use it with some terrible camera phone pictures to great effect.

Is it just me or are these actually 180 degree images, since you don't go all the way around.

Cali: Clicking on them will tell you that it is Hugin these pics are made with.

Kevin: Yes, these three are not 360°. The first one and second is probably something like 160°, the third one 200° or so.
