The World Photo Day Panorama: Since 1839, this date celebrates the birth of photography; panographers use this day to capture "Global Vistas"—360-degree views from every corner of the Earth at once.

Todays Challenge: "The Global Square." Capture a panorama of a busy public space or a park. Focus on the "diversity" of the scene—how many different actions and stories can you fit into one wide sweep?

Pano Inspiration: Every year on this day, thousands of panoramas are uploaded to digital maps, creating a "time-capsule" of the entire world on a single day.
