The Weekly Photo (Week 34) West Side Market

West Side Market

Celebrating 100 years of service, the West Side Market in Cleveland, Ohio is both a historic site and a delightful shopping experience. With just under 30,000 square feet (less than 2800 m²), this market is modest in size compared to today’s giant supermarkets, many of which are twice this size. It is different, however, in that some one hundred independent vendors offer a wide array of produce, meats, baked goods, and more.

I took a few shots with my Nokia Lumia 900 phone. photosynth-01There was another test in the back of my mind, but a colleague brought up combining photos, so I quickly loaded them into Photosynth. You can see the result by clicking the image here on the right.

With a little bit of looking around, you can see the location (just scroll down) and you can find other views of this amazing place.

    1. You can have a lot of fun with Photosynth, but you must think ahead when taking pictures - lots of them from all angles or for stitching into huge panos.
