Touring the World

As much as Christchurch is a delightful place to live in, I still like to see the rest of the world. Using a flight simulator, I have "virtually" landed a helicopter on the front lawn of the Taj Mahal. You can do what "real" tourists can't.
Though the picture quality is not great, it is made up for by the three dimensional effect of fly around the scene.

Sound adds another dimension to flight simulation, especially when one flies up close to the Niagara Falls.

Touring this way is rather like flying into a painting. In this case, it is a picture of Rio de Janeiro in the early morning.
