255? I got a first glimpse but wait until next week when also the late
entries and corrections are online. BirneGruppe e.g. is still missing
for this event but has already a second contribution listed in

This is one of the most moving panoramas of the "reportage" type I ever
saw. At first a "peaceful" scene that is a perfect match to the article.
True, it has a very long story that might use some more editing, but
it's really worth reading and I already looked forward to learn more
about Ray's impressions from post-Katrina New Orleans. Ray, please feed
the world with regular updates! And a little glossary for SBA, FEMA,...
May I encourage you to post some the older panoramas you mentioned in
your article?

Indeed a wonderful panorama.

Can someone give me a hint what kind of border is shown here? No caption
provided, I hope this is in the work as a late edit. Sorry, but without
a clever caption I think this pano completely misses the point of this
event. It was "borders", right? Not "War Museums", "Halls",
"Architecture" or "Places in Chicago"...

ps
I also like Nick Milligan's "Boarders" pano for pushing the border in
slightly misspelling the term, I initially thought about doing something
like that with my snowboard ;-)
