Amazing interactive view over Notre Dame - Gigarama

[Pluvious]

On my iPad this is just amazing

You can even zoom in too

1. I can sorta move around, how do you zoom?

[progree]

2. One way is to hold down the Control key while turning the mouse wheel (Windows computer) nt

[Staph]

3. On my Windows laptop

alt-plus sign to zoom in or alt-minus to zoom out.

[Brother Buzz]

5. I've got a windows desktop with an apple keyboard

I have no clue what alt-plus is, but it turns out all I need to do to to zoom in is use my trusty scroll wheel on my mouse. Easy peasy.

Thanks everyone!

11. Sorry!

I should have been more specific -- I guess that I have been out of IT support for too many years.

By "alt-plus", I meant hold down the ALT key and press the + (plus sign) key at the same time. "Alt-minus" means hold down the ALT key and press the - (minus sign) key.

That sometimes means, on certain keyboards, that you press ALT along with the = (equal sign) key, because SHIFT and the equal sign is probably the plus sign. You don't have to press the shift key, because SHIFt and = doesn't mean anything!

Now, if your Apple keyboard doesn't have an ALT key . . . , well, I can't help you!

22. Lmao - I have Mac and am using a Windows keyboard !

It's the light weight ergonomic wireless one, so awesome

26. I've always been a Mac user, but my son bought a Dell computer from Goodwill for ten bucks...

and gave it to me when the video board went south on my vintage iMac. Goodwill doesn't, by policy, sell computers, but they thought it was only a monitor; he knew otherwise and snagged it. My son's buddy, an idiot savant computer whiz, remotely hacked the password from eight-hundred miles away. It's really been a great computer and has much better internal speakers then an iMac so I intend to use it until it crashes and burns. I have a nice iMac in reserve I bought at UC Davis' Bargain Barn for a whopping forty bucks. It's doing light duty work chromcasting pirated baseball games to my smart TV until it's called into battle.

Oh, my Apple keyboards are NOS, also from UC Davis, and cost a whopping $2.50 each. They're wired, but they are the only one with white keys, something this old fart with bum eyes needs in darkened rooms.

Perhaps we can swap a couple of keys and make the world right.

27. You're sure getting your money's worth !!

28. use the mouse roller

[Brother Buzz]

30. A mouse roller is a scroll wheel on a mouse, right?

6. Thank you. Just scanned everything I could in and out

And around. Fricken shame.

[Pluvious]

21. Be sure to see my post 20 - one piece of good news

[JDC]

23. Fortuitous for sure. Thx

7. Thanks, very informative. Am I seeing the top of the spire.....

laying perched on top of one of the walls?

Looks like maybe the top ten or twenty feet of it survived almost intact...

[Pluvious]

20. Am unsure, but this item is a very interesting follow up !

Talk about fortuitous timing !!
It's just sad Tallon past away, but he had to know the importance of what he helped accomplish...

8. Why are you linking to something from Russia?

[DRoseDARs]

9. Perhaps because a Russian drone photographer got permission to survey the damage from the French?

Or perhaps it was simply that they got this unique view out first before anyone else did?



Not all Russians are on Putin's payroll. We need to remember that.

[Pachamama]

10. So this is the only drone view done and they have the exclusive use to it?

Meanwhile - I will respectfully disagree with you on the statement about Russians and choose to remember otherwise.

[Pluvious]

18. Thank you friend

I never know how to properly respond sometimes.

So I just move on

[progressoid]

12. rec!

[AZ8theist]

13. Fuck russian links

[sandensea]

14. Incroyable!

Thanks for posting this, Pluvious. What a find!

[Pluvious]

16. Always happy to share fun stuff :)

[sandensea]

19. You bet. Here's footage of the interior, taken just yesterday.

They have a steep climb ahead of them; but I know they can do it.

[Pluvious]

24. Wow, I'll check it out - be sure to check out the story linked to post 20 - fortuitous timing !!

[sandensea]

25. Thanks for that. Great to hear!

I'm not surprised, given the how devoted most European countries are to their architectural heritage.

President Macron seems sure they can rebulid in 5 years. Others say that's just too optimistic.

My hope is that they take all the time they need to get it right. You can't have corner-cutting with something like this.

[Larissa]

32. Incredible view! Thanks for sharing

I didn't give it a second thought when Macron made his statement about wanting to get the refurbishing work done in five years. But after seeing the panoramic view of the horrific damage . . . from above it looks like a barbecue pit. I know nothing about structural engineering, but I hope the cathedral is made secure against risk of falling debris on the workers. The rose windows -- although intact -- have moved about eight inches out of their original position. The cathedral had been in such sad shape that it wasn't uncommon to find broken off pieces of limestone and other materials.

15. Amazing

I can see the rooftop of the hotel where we stayed on the Left Bank when we were in Paris two years ago and I took the photos that I posted with Memories of Notre Dame.

[Pluvious]

17. It's amazing how much zoom is available

Years ago we stayed in some small hotel on that little island next to Notre Dame, and it was SUCH a tiny room for the huge cost, I was blown away.

My Parisian friend who got us the reservation kept trying to explain how exclusive it was lol.

All wasted on us barbarians heh.
