QTVR Photo © Andrew Nemeth
The panorama (2.8 mb) is with high quality stereo sound. Please wait for it to load.
Anzac day - "The one day of the year" - has been held since the 1920s on April 25th to commemorate soldiers who served or died in Australia's wars.
The specific date was chosen to remember the landings at Gallipoli in 1915 - the first time Australian troops, as a federated national force, participated in a foreign war.
The panorama was made at the head of one of the Anzac Day marching battalions, at the corner of King and Elizabeth Streets at St James in Sydney.

Granhults Kyrka a Wooden Church in Småland Sweden
QTVR by Jonas Carlson www.virtualsweden.se
The church at Granhult is one of the best preserved wooden churches in Sweden.The original church is from around 1220.
Wooden churches are well known from Eastern Europe but they are all from 1500 or later. As far as I know only Sweden and Norway has preserved wooden churches from as old as 1200.
The church is built of timber and the length of the church room is only 10 meter probably because this was the longest available timber.
Most of the paintings are from the 1700.
