Just found this, and I am not sure where else to post it.  This picture is a 160 degree panorama taken 2,000 feet above San Francisco in 1906 just shortly after the earthquake.  The camera was flown by kite and wieghed 49 pounds.

For perspective, the Wright Brothers had only flown the first plane some 3 years earlier.
