The Panorama of the Thames: Published in 1829, this was a famous folding "strip panorama" that allowed viewers to see both banks of the river Thames in a single, continuous, portable view.

Todays Challenge: "The Mirror Bank." Find a river or lake. Capture a panorama looking across the water, focusing on how the buildings or trees on the far side repeat in a long, horizontal line.

Pano Inspiration: This panorama was sold as a "pocket-sized" book that unfolded to several feet in length, a predecessor to the modern digital "scroll."
