Cylindrical space station
Image by verysubmm
Really it’s my 360 degree Niagara Falls panorama converted to polar coordinates with the GIMP, but it reminds me of a painting commissioned to depict the inside of a city-sized cylindrical space station, sort of like Babylon 5, but with sunlight coming in one end.
No, a rainbow wouldn’t really look like that; it’d still be circular.
Inspired by those Little Prince type planetoids people are making, but easier since the source panorama doesn’t need to include the ground (i.e. directly down).

Buses in Hong Kong serve an important function—it transports people traveling long distances between remote areas and downtown. Although the metro (MTR) is fast, it is also very crowdy. The last thing you want after a day of work is stand inside a compressed train being pushed around.
Pictured is a bus terminal located in Central, the financial district in Hong Kong. It is situated at the ground level of Exchange Square, the building which also houses the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. A time lapse video of this area can be seen earlier in the stream [1].
This 360-degree panorama was stitched together using 15 captures on the 6D + 17-40 f/4L mounted on the Manfrotto 303SPH. Many people walked by as I was photographing this, but you do not really see them as this was shot with a relatively long exposure. I do this intentionally to hide the identity of the pedestrians.

Ground Stone

These are obviously ground stone tools. As for what the two biconical stones are on the left, I have no idea. Maybe they had boat lines wrapped around them.
The piece at the top looks like it might be part of a pipe.
