Panoramas from Bolivia and Peru by Nicolas and Aurélien
2 young Frenchmen decided to travel around the world:
"Beginning of March 2004, we were about to leave France for a 15 months trip around the world. The purpose was to create panoramic pictures from breathtaking places on earth. Just three weeks before leaving, Le conseil general des Yvelines (a French state organisation) granted us a reward through local challenge to finance the equipment needed. So we have been taking more than 12 000 pictures and tens panoramics by visiting 15 countries across South America, Oceania and Asia."
