Thanks for adding the definition Bob. Also be aware that panoramas can also be vertical, not just the standard horizontal that most of us are familiar with.
Not an entry.

Welcome Don.
And nicely stitched together it is.
Was your 2012 10 thousand mile trip when you rode the scooter to Sturgus Bike Week.....?

No, the year I took the scooter to Sturgis was 2014. Those pictures are still up on the Stator thread.
I did go to Sturgis Bike Week on the 2012 trip on the way back to Florida but that was on the 1100E I had at the time.

Because it sounds more elegant than the Dolly Partons?

Three bikes in a straight line, or at least that may be how it appears.
But Notice that each bike seems to be about the same distance from the viewer.
If the bikes had been in a straight line, the bikes on the end would be further away than the bike in the center, and would appear to be further away.
The bikes are in something of an arc, and picture taken in panoramic. Note the line in cement under bike on left going to the center and the line under the bike on the right going to the center ... those are actually the one same straight line. Taken from a knelling position, so the perspective is straight perpendicular from the side of the bikes.
Here is a regular shot of the scene, from a standing position,standing further back. You can see where I put down the phone clip on the pavement, that is about the point that I took the pano shot from, turning the camera from one side to the other. And you can see the one straight line in the cement.
Like we discussed last year, when "pano" was a topic; I had learnt about panographic years ago (ah, 50 years ago) when my grandfather showed me picture of his Army group from the Great War (World War I). Well, I should say; I remember him showing me the picture and him telling me about it (and his buddy that was in the picture twice), but was not till years later that I understood it. And then, decades later, it was interesting to find the "pano" function as a common standard feature on iPhone.
If you're talking to me, I must have.
What did I forget?
Ah. Same thing happens to me with post #3851 (Trevor's "California Dreaming")
I think I recall seeing other pic of your bike parked in the towncenter park.
I can imagine some old town folk seeing you park bike there and walk back to take pic.
"Hey, isnt that guy the pastor there? The new young guy?"
"Yah, Have seen him do that before."
But it is Friday....And still morning! Ha...time to vote.
First the theme:
The theme for this week will be fairly open as the theme will be the picture format rather than the actual subject matter. Let's see what you all have for a panorama shot.
Some really terrific photos this week...Let the voting begin...
If I missed anyone, let me know.
