Close your hotel blinds when visiting Tokyo

I was reading a few photography blogs this morning and found this little clip:

Check it out for yourself; open the link to a 6.2 Gigapixel image here and zoom around all you want. So get this straight, that's the equivalent of 620 cameras taking a photo at the same time and stitching all those images together (i.e. Nikon d80 or Canon 40D). I'm pretty sure you could print that puppy up, wrap it half-way around the earth and still view it from the moon rather nicely. The moral of this post: close the blinds



I think I shall photograph something similar in Utah with one of our iconic landscapes or adventure settings. Any suggestions?
