A beautiful high-tech-meets-old-school application to appreciate Michelangelo's amazing work and attention to detail. The next time you feel overwhelmed by a project, view this for 5 minutes and be thankful you didn't have to paint it! Your project will not seem as daunting afterwards.

    That's really remarkable, erco! What a great way to present an overpowering work if you can't actually be there. In fact, I suspect it's easier to examine the detail this way, since the ceiling is so high. (I haven't spotted Waldo yet, but I'll keep looking.)

    Thanks for sharing it!

    This is really cool.... but...
    is that grey-haired person in the pinkish clothes next to the half sun actually mooning us or what?
