The Panorama of Moscow Restoration: This date commemorates major efforts to preserve the 1912 "Battle of Borodino" cyclorama, one of the largest panoramic paintings in existence.

Todays Challenge: "The Epic Narrative." Find a scene where multiple things are happening at once (like a park with different groups of people). Capture a panorama that tells a "story" from left to right, with a beginning, middle, and end.
