World's Tallest Tree - Neatorama

Photo: James Balog

The tree in the photo above is pretty tall - so tall, in fact, that it used to be the tallest known tree in the world. Until people found other trees that are even taller. NPR's Robert Krulwich has a very neat post about the discovery of the world's tallest tree: http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2011/04/08/135206497/the-worlds-tallest-tree-is-hiding-somewhere-in-california

This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the leaves and from seeing quite a few trees in my time.

That is a tall tree. The headline and the article contradict each other, however.

Whoever stitched that picture together needs better software.

The top of that picture is obviously shopped. Not buying it.

The tree isn't fake, it was just top-less and they had to cover the naughty bits.

The technique is called "Panography". According to Wikipedia it differs from "image stitching" in that "the overlaps between adjacent pictures are not removed."

"Panography is thus a type of photomontage and is a sub-set of collage."
