Gigapan! What's a Gigapan?
Well, our good friend Zoran Orlic of Zero Studios dropped by the roof top farm to take
some photos with his new robotic camera toy. We rented a 60 foot boom lift & took some
fun afternoon shots of the roof top farm from above. Check out this link below & make sure to wave "hello"
to farmer Dave! (you can zoom all the way in on him, he's the one in the cowboy hat!)

Zoran also took a fun 360 degree view from the roof so you can see what's growing now
enjoy!
