Theme: Panoramas
"Panoramic photography, also known as wide format photography, is a special technique that stitches multiple images from the same camera together to form a single, wide photograph (vertical or horizontal)."
The Photographers always appreciate your comments!
A special "Thanks!" to everyone for their support and kicks during this month's contest!
Thank you,
Solly Mack

Also big congratulations to CurtEastPoint, Mz Pip, Tom Kitten, 2naSalit, bluedigger, and everyone else who participated.
They were all so beautiful, and it was very hard to pick just one. You all rock.

(15,805 posts)Its just lovely, and so reminiscent of the paintings I remember seeing on display in the windows of tiny shops and offered for sale by street artists as we strolled around gawking at everything. Thanks of the memory prompt!

I was happy to help host, though I must admit to being glad it's over.

And WooHoo! I made it from "not a contender" to 5th place!!
Merely for those who might be interested, it really was sunrise over the Tetons from the Idaho side just north of the Henry's Fork Bridge near Harriman State Park.
I liked all the entries and struggled with picking just one during the voting!
