Great shots!!! Thanks to UrbanSophist for coming up with the idea of creating this thread. Thanks to savethewtc for the sticky. And thanks to the New York forum and its "Amazing Pics of Manhattan" thread--the true original--for the inspiration. Let's make this one great.

Hey george, in my last post, you see the last two panos? Do you have the third one in that same basic position, except it's like sunset and there are more clouds? I'd like to add it inbetween the two but can't find it.

Spyguy999, your pano shot from Museum Campus perspective is frakkin' gorgeous!
Hydrogen, you capture the color of Lake Michigan so perfectly. It aligns with bit-blurry Chicago skyline wonderfully!

Hats off to all panos! I am loving all of 'em!
