Prompt

Birth of Thomas Moran: Born in 1837, his massive, wide-canvas paintings of the Grand Canyon were so influential they helped convince the U.S. Congress to establish the first National Parks.

Todays Challenge: "The Great Chasm." Find a canyon, a valley, or even a steep drop-off between buildings. Capture a panorama that looks "down and across" to emphasize the depth of the space.

Pano Inspiration: Moran’s panoramic paintings were so realistic that people who had never seen the American West believed they were looking through a giant window.
