⁴ Editor's Note: This unusual photograph is the result of merging two overlapping photographs of the scene, each with about 70% of the scene, one to the left, the other to the right, appearing to have been taken from the same location. The two photographs were merged in Photoshop to create a panorama, perspective corrected, cropped and optimized to create the final image of the complete scene.
