An earlier GigaPan of Sam Houston Statue can be seen here: share.gigapan.org/viewGigapanFullscreen.php?id=9906
This should be entitled something like, "Continuation of Engle's Transportation Series, Past and Future," or a better one would be simply, "One Lucky Shot."Just playing around with taking hand-held photos using the SX110 and just accidentally caught two trains on either side of Sam Houston Statue.
It is only 9 images, but the panorama looks cool and happened on a hot day in Houston, Texas.
Using the robot, I do not believe I could have captured a moment like what we see above: 9 photos in less than a minute [left to right]. This is a reason to always try to carry a camera for those unexpected moments in time we call great panoramas.

Thanks Payam, Yesterday I went back to have a look around Hermann Park, and parked my car in the same area as where we see the buses in this panorama. While I was there, I did not see anything as exciting as what we see here; however, things may have been happening all around me without me noticing. There were many families enjoying picnics and staying close to the water fountains because of the heat. Did not see any aircraft this time, so the flight path may have changed and the only real excitement was to ride the red train for $2.75, if I were a train enthusiast, I would ride it as often as I could.
