Those panos are stunning.  do you know when the top one was taken?  I'm guessing around 1999 or 2000.  I remember when I lived there the people of Paris complained about the giant ferris wheel at Place de la Concorde.  They took it down in 2001.

I have no idea when the panorama was taken, but i guess its around 1999 - 2001 as well. Its during the winter at least. But when did they built the ferris wheel?

Not sure when it was built, but it was around that time. It was deemed an "eyesore" by the populace, and the citizens sued to have it removed. They eventually won and the owner was ordered to take it down. I thought it was kind of cool, it provided a spectacular view of the skyline, and it was fun to ride when you were drunk :D

They originally wanted to do that with the Eiffel Tower :ph34r:
