Kite Aerial Photography
Gigapixel panorama created by Yury Rybalskiy , www.360cities.net.
In my pre-geocaching existence, I was very active in kite aerial photography (KAP), so have great respect for this image. It is VERY difficult to get a clear shot, due to the erratic movements of the kite. I believe this photo was taken from the kite visible in the sky, and the camera attached further down the line. You can see the kite line leaving the flyer as a long black streak, but it mysteriously disappears at the horizon.
Multiply the number of sides on the kite by the number of planter boxes near the flyer.
C = ____ (3-digit number)
Home?

None of the images I've seen can compare to these next two, from different sites in London.
According to Big Ben, what time is it to the closest five minutes?
F = ____ (Standard, not military time, no AM/PM. Example: 2:10)
Find the London Eye and then look just to the right of the bottom. What type of attraction is located here?
G = ____ (One word)
With the London Eye centered, come back toward the camera location until you are quite close. Find the spire of an old church and then look to the right of that and further away to a six-storey tan building with blue doors. How many motorcycles/scooters in the Motorcycles Only parking?
H = ____ (Digit or digits)
Finally, find the very prominent London BT Tower, pretty much the opposite direction from the London Eye. It has lots of communication dishes. Then look to the right of the tower a fair distance and spot the also prominent British Museum, which is a green dome. To the left of the dome and a bit closer to the camera is a good-sized wooded area surrounded by blocks of flats. I believe it is Bedford Square Garden. Zoom in on the far corner of the Garden and spot a double-decker bus (Fulham Road 14). What famous person is advertised on the bus?
I = ____ (First and last names)
London 320 Gigapixel
Gigapixel panorama created by Jeffrey Martin, www.360cities.net.
One of the highest resolution images ever taken, but on what appears to be a hazy day. Closer up, though, the detail is amazing...
Look pretty much straight down and find the two giant construction cranes, white on the lower parts and red higher up. Follow the one of the right almost to the top and zoom in. On the roof of a building, spot what may be a school yard (large green sports/play area) with children's art murals. On the nearer panel, find the rabbits and the walking carrot. What type of food are there several examples of a bit further right?
J = ______ (Plural)
Oi! That was a nasty piece of work!
String your 10 answers together (spaces and capitalization don't matter) and type the works into the Checker here. If correct, you're off on holiday to the cache!
I can see not all you lot will interpret the images the same as I do, so don't hesitate to send round an email query and I will happily assist.
Cheers, mate! Off with you!
