Brandon Photosynth images

Some may have seen the Microsoft Photosynth software that CNN was using during the US inauguration coverage today.
What they did was take a bunch of digital camera and cell phone photos from by people who were there and used the website-based Photosynth service to stitch it together into a 3-d kind of image of the area.
I was having a look through the site today and I see that a user called "plainsmen drafting" (assuming the Crocus Plains drafting department?) has used the same technology and put a bit of work into doing some 3-d images of some of Brandon's more prominent buildings..

(you will have to do a quick download first)
The 10th street one especially is kind of cool. Other buildings they've done include the Provincial Ex building, CP Rail building, Town Centre and McKenzie Seeds.
I'm hoping to do a bit of experimenting over the next few days myself.....If anyone does (or has done) photosynths of Brandon or Westman locations, please feel free to share the links in here!
