Thank you, Jiun, for sharing this wonderfully wide #pano of the Ohori Park in central Fukuoka, Japan.

The spectacular water scenery at Ohori Park is symbolized by the 3 islands in the park’s lake and the 4 bridges that connect them.

Makes me want to visit Fukuoka now! 😊

Is it time to chill and grill? I've always thought that #Fall or #Autumn is the best time to grill outdoors - not too hot with just a mild, nice weather.

Thanks, Jules, for sharing this lovely outdoor public grill #pano with us. With a roof in the background, it almost looks like a birdhouse! 😊

panoramic film photo of a public charcoal grill in a park. there's trees and a path and boats and a trash can and a shack/hut of some sort and a woman standing in the out of focus background.
i don't know why anyone would cook on a public grill, it seems wildly unsafe but idk people do.

The equirectangular projection #pano has the complete 360° spherical view of the world around the photographer.

Using an app, it can be used to create all types of #panos such as a horizontal, a vertical, a fisheye, or a #tinyPlanet. Also used in a VR viewer.

Thanks, Caro, for an almost 360° #panoramic view of a crowded bridge with views of the Neuschwanstein Castle in Schwangau, Germany.

How do you like the Lomography Spinner 360° camera? Sounds like the perfect camera to capture a wide 360° #panorama. 😊

Excellent stitch job (from 6 images) of this colorful #mural without the perspective distortions, Brian! What a beautiful mural too. We can see your shadow selfie twice.

Thanks, Thomas, for sharing this inverted or vortex perspective in your #tinyPlanet #pano at Dysart Harbour in Fife, Scotland.

It almost looks like the boats are circling down a drain. LOL! 😊

Thomas @thaywoodphoto.bsky.social · 2d

An inverted little planet view of Dysart Harbour, once a thriving port for coal and salt.
Now peaceful and still, its circular world feels almost other-worldly.
What does it make you think of — a tiny planet, a whirlpool, or something else entirely?

Love the lines or stripes in this #Hasselblad #Xpan film #pano by Mikolaj.

I'll have to add #Lines as a theme for #weekL in the next set of #A2Z_PanoPhotos in 2026!

Vivienne is back with a lovely #Widelux #pano of an abandoned temple in rural Japan ⛩️.

It's sad to see such a beautiful temple left unattended as rural to urban migration remains a worldwide issue.
