When you first get on the page zoom straight in about 50%, pan straight down and you should find the tents.

Holy crap! I was looking up in the mountains, not on the ground at the bottom. I see all kinds of people there too, standing around doing nothing. what a shot, It must be one heck of a large photo to start with.

Wow, very powerful. I have seen those panorama's that you can scroll or pan and keep going with almost no end.

Definitely amazing. There will be a day when even 2 peta-pixels will be considered child's play (I say maybe 10 years from now based on current technology growth; people will then laugh at you when you tell them that your PC still uses a 3 Terabyte harddrive. lol). :)

What a great photo. I stumbled on this and it seems to be the Sherpa village Gorak Shep (according to Google Earth). Looks like a mobile phone tower!

I've been looking for a helicopter pad, so far have found only one with typical wind sock.

Satellite communication towers are all over the place. Even Medical Center is there.
