I just ran across this page -

- and I figured I have to post it here!

It's a very cool animation of the inside of a Rama cylinder.

If you read the books like I did and had a hard time trying to picture what a Cylinder-world would look like in reality, you cannot pass up on this!

Here's a high-res version of the same video hosted at Megaupload in case download from his website is slow:

A PDF describing the creation of the video/pictures, most of it is over my head but some might find it interesting:

(I did some searching and I could'nt see it posted here previously though I could be wrong)

Holy shit that's awesome. Makes me want to read Clarke again...

(And the island of New York being Manhattan is a nice touch.)

Reminds me a bit of Babylon 5 only, you know, bigger.

That's really freaking awesome.

I want one!
