As I have no doubt mentioned. Grand Marais was a really nice little town. I think it would have more appeal to a mariner since most of the town is a marina (by area). There's a point that sticks out into the lake which is where I took the picture of my self from two posts earlier, and the land forms the start of a natural harbor in the other direction. On the way out to the lighthouse before I left for Thunder Bay I took a series of panoramas.

The breakwater has a really interesting interface between concrete and stone.

Here's an overview of the whole thing taken from right up next to the water.

Grand Marais has one of Minnesota's 3 geodetic markers. This panorama was taken from PID AA2869. The camera was right over it.

And the last two are an overview of the area and one from right next to the cute little lighthouse

I recently asked James to take a panorama of his hotel room in Nashville with his cameraphone. He thought that might be a bit tough to do. I agreed with him, but just to show that it can be done (and to egg him on a bit) I decided to try it. This is a panorama done in the basement of a place I was pulling cable today taken with my Tréo 600's built-in VGA camera

I've wanted to do this for quite a while but, when we got our first Roomba, I would have needed to mount a light on the top so that you could see the thing. The newer Roomba models have status LEDs on the top for power level and for the cleaning cycle that is running though. It's taken me almost a year since we got the Roomba Discovery to realize that and set up the tripod and take the picture, but I think the results of this first try are enough to make me try again. I'll have to find a darker room to do it in at some point since the street lights outside the living room window fogged the image somewhat.

For anyone who is curious about the type of photos I'm taking. You can see a virtual tour of a hotel here. It's not the hotel chain I'm doing now and I'm not saying I took every single picture on the site or even one for that matter and I definitely didn't take the one with the chick getting out of the pool.

Oh, and if you need a portable bidet with a handy built-in digital camera. Gizmodo's got your back
