This Made My Head Explode

The Internet and technology continue to – in the immortal words of the great Muhammad Ali – stun and amaze ya, don’t they?

National Geographic has what, to the naked eye, appears to be a gorgeous, if somewhat pedestrian photo of the Grand Canyon on its website. It’s the photo you see pictured above.

What may cause your head to explode is what you’ll find by clicking in the yellow frame (which can be moved to any place on the photo) — it’s an infinite photograph, with seemingly every pixel being comprised of hundreds of other photographs, all submitted by users to the Geographic site, MyShot.

Wow. Just, wow.
