Cathrineberg Windmill
One of my friends visiting me on St. John last week, Jonah Gouin, is into, among many other cool things, “panos.”
Panos, short for panoramas, are a series of still photos stitched together seamlessly to form a three dimensional interactive image that can be manipulated by the viewer using the mouse and a few easy to use commands. It’s as if one was standing in a spot and can see in any direction, up, down and around as well as being able to zoom in on any particular view.
To show me how it was done, we picked the Catherineberg windmill as a test and Jonah shot the pano. It’s not new technology, but it’s very cool and really lends itself to St. John with it’s dramatic overlooks and fascinating ruins.
Check this one out for yourself – Cathrineberg Panorama
(The red dots will take you between the lower passageway level and the upper windmill level. The last button to the right puts the pano into full screen mode.)

Very cool, thanks for sharing.
Awesome … we want more!
now THAT was so cool!! esp. in the middle of the night sitting up since I can’t get to sleep after my boy waking up with a cough attack here in the east coast of the U.S…MORE!!! Since I can’t get to St.Johns in the physical, the virtual is having to do for now. More pix like this and I might not be as crabby! lol ;o) Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Very cool. BTW, the “Keep me notified” pop-up is pretty annoying. Happens every time I try to click “comments”, and I have to close it. Ee-gads
