Yes, nice but it’s not a real 360 degree view…look at the top and floor.

Congradulations Yadegar Asisi !
As an Australian I aplaud you. This is great for educating the world communities what fragile beauty rests within human influence.
I hope it motivates us to understand more, care more and act more regarding nature and ecosystems.
