These are very nice. Leidseplein (“Homo Sapiens non Urinat in Ventum”) is my favorite.
Unfortunately, it is a fairly poor quality image taken with my first digicam, a Fuji MX700 with a whopping 1.5 megapixels and 16MB SmartMedia cards.
That’s OK, Fazal; I realize that the point of these is the photo, and I like some of them (blimp, chikatetsu, sf_alamo, towerbridge) very much. I also like the way they reflect the content of your posts. The one I singled out, however, was for the inscription.
You’d be surprised how few photos “work” in a 1280×100 aspect ratio, even ultra-wide panoramics.
