That pic is actually a multi-image photo (a panorama turned sideways). I don't remember if it's 3 or 4 photos stitched together. The orignial is about 4x that size.

Since I don't (yet) have a nice SLR camera with a wide angle lens this is how I make up for it. It's great for taking high res pictures, photographing a scene with severe light balance problems or capturing something that has a strange profile. I use panorama tools and PT assembler. Most panorama programs just try to guess how the photos go together but PT assembler allows you to pick specific "control points" in each photo that, if the source pictures are taken properly, lets you make a seamless composite picture. It also adjusts for the curvature of the camera lens too. Pretty easy to use but you have to be very careful when taking source pics. If they're not all exposed the same it's hard to get them to go together well.
