The Great Fire of London Panorama: Historically, this date marks the completion of significant 17th-century etched "long-view" panoramas that documented the city's massive scale and its eventual rebuilding.

Todays Challenge: "The Urban Continuity." Find a long block of buildings. Move parallel to the buildings and take a series of photos, then stitch them into a flat "strip" panorama to show the continuous architecture.

Pano Inspiration: Before cameras, "Long Views" were created by artists who sat on rooftops for weeks, sketching every detail of the city onto multiple copper plates.
