Here’s a picture of Bathurst TAFE that’s been altered using an open source photo manipulation program (the GIMP) to change it into a circular panorama. After creating planet TAFE I uploaded it to flickr and made it into the image you see here using the bighugelabs poster maker.

You can see a bigger version by clicking on the image above, or by visiting the original on flickr

I even made an avatar on the simpson’s movie site…
