Prompt

The Panorama of the Nile: In the mid-19th century, Frederick Catherwood completed a massive panoramic drawing of the ruins along the Nile, bringing the scale of ancient Egypt to Western audiences.

Todays Challenge: "The Architectural Line." Find a row of similar objects (columns, windows, or even cars). Capture a panorama that follows the repeating line, making it look like it goes on forever.

Pano Inspiration: Catherwood used a "camera lucida," an optical device that projected the image of the ruins onto his paper so he could trace the panoramic perspective perfectly.
