Click on the pic to get sucked into some kind of weird warped-space 360 degree panorama of a Moscow subway service tunnel!
I keep expecting aliens to jump out. Where's my full-assault gauntlet?
EDIT: It appears to be "Russian Underground Panorama" by Vladimir Shalagin. Hard to tell, a lot of his site is written in symbols, but there's some cool stuff there you can find by clicking blindly around - including another panorama of a sewer! Or at any rate, some kind of subterranean drainage catacomb.
EDIT2: and clicking around, I found a bunch of others, too - this guy is awesome! Here's a dance hall (and the same from the stage and from a balcony lounge), a beautiful faerie-lit bridge over a river, with trees made out of garbage, and the aforementioned sewer. Which is not a "sewer," apparently, but a meeting of underground rivers.
Some of the panoramas take a little longer to load. It's a cool effect - you'll be looking around and at first, everything you see starts out grainy black and white. Then suddenly big patches turn clear and in beautiful color, until everything is.
He appears to be using some sort of catadioptric camera. Vladimir Shalagin, ladies and gentlemen. Good job Vlad!
