This is the city if Stockholm. Besides zooming possibility, you can alter the view
by moving the little guy to different locations. By rotating the pie under his shoes,
you can see the whole 360deg.

Not very importaint, but...like the comment in the tag say... the road is not blocked by that snow avalanche.
The road is protected by a concrete tunell.

In Norway we also have a lot of protection tunells like this made because the areas often have snow avalanches.

If you zoom to 20, you can see that it locally warped the image to make it "work."

The C-47D was actually called the "Skytrain", not Dakota. It could be a Dakota IV if it was once owned by the British. Full name is the Douglas C-47D Skytrain, which is the C-47B with superchargers removed.

You may not remember that they were considered one of the first "major" internet phenomenons because they had a pretty good website at a time when no one else really did. They also gave Nike their most awkward product placement when they all wore matching black sneakers in the end (something the press never hesitated to mention) "Just Do It", indeed...
