Zmajski most – the Dragon Bridge, Ljubljana
Hi Cristian!
Seems we scanned the same dragon! I hope my submission is not duplicate since we compete in a different category and my post is still eligible.
Zmajski most, the Dragon bridge is a remarkable Art Noveau architecture piece inaugurated in 1901. The four dragon sculptures decorating it, were designed by Giorgio Zaninovich.
As I had so many dragones to process, to reconstruct the set captured in Ljubljana I decided to try Google Cloud Platform Compute Engine. After some trials and errors, I managed to start the virtual machine, log in with the remote desktop and install the RC. I acquired additional Steam licence to be able to process two datasets in parallel.
