YouTube video is everywhere these days it seems, including a lot of crap, (some of which you may have even seen here.) But this is one of the most amazing examples of human achievement above and beyond the ordinary, almost beyond the imaginable, that I have seen. Watch as Stephen Wiltshire, a young man from the UK who is an autistic savant, sketches from memory a 16 foot mural of the city of Rome, having only taken a 45 minute flyover of the city in a helicopter three days earlier.
