Small World Chicago

This is just to show that you don't need a 360 panorama to make your own "small world".  This was a picture of the Chicago skyline I took about five years ago.  I "mirrored" it horizontally and then applied the polar coordinate distort filter in Photoshop.

The only reason for doing the mirror flip is to eliminate the seam.  I kind of like the symmetry(!).  By the way, I found out that there are jillions of these spherical panoramas on Flickr, many of them outstanding.
