Philly Willy
Philadelphia
The observation platform near the top of Philadelphia City Hall Tower offers splendid views over the city, but has limited standing room. On a crisp Fall day in 2012 I was lucky enough to book it exclusively for an hour for a photo shoot, and they let me open the windows and stick out a camera on a 12 foot pole. I took full spheres from the North, East, South and West windows, and after stitching them, combined the 4 outward facing hemispheres into this "flying Willy" view. The name honors Willy Kaemena, who popularized this technique for making simulated aerial images from the tops of tall buildings.
