Interview: Tito Dupret Grabs Hold of our Changing Landscapes Through Pano-photography

It’s lonely out here in Tibet. The sun is shining down over a mountain and for miles around there is not a soul in sight. The sky is clear and at my feet I can see six layers of brown stones, about the size of baseballs, piled up by an unknown people.

These stone piles dot the landscape – only a few feet away I can see a pile of them shaped into what looks like a house with two or three rooms.

No, I’m not in Tibet. I’m also not reading an archaeological report, or even a looking at a virtual reconstruction. I’m immersed in a photographic panorama of an actual site in Tibet. The objects are real and were shot by a photographer – Tito Dupret – who was actually there.

Virtual Globe-Trotting For Beginners

Lots of us would love to explore the ancient world, but we can't always travel as much as we'd like. A variety of things - disabilities, lack of money, fear of flying - can get between you and your globetrotting dreams.

As you can imagine, while working for Heritage Key I come across all sorts of content that sets me dreaming about distant lands. There are endless amounts of travel blogs, travel guides, and photoblogs, where people are generous enough to share their experiences in great detail. On Flickr alone there are millions of photos by professionals, amateurs and avid travellers.

Some sites offer a more immersive experience than others. As a keen armchair explorer, here are a few of my favourite destinations:
