^ Yup - this picture is the next best thing to being there.
I'm sure that we will get similar high quality panoramas from other famous viewpoints in the next year or two. All you need is a talented photographer with the software to stitch the images together and the public spirit to offer the image free to Wikipedia. I would like to see images of the same quality from the Empire State Building, GE Building, Eiffel Tower, St Peter's Basilica, Hong Kong's Peak or Tsim-Sha-Tsui, Shanghai's Bund, Tokyo's Roppongi Hills Tower, Rio's Corcovado, Sugarloaf Mountain, Cape Town's Table Mountain etc etc.
