40 Incredible Panoramas of Buildings and Cityscapes
Each of these gorgeous photos tells a story about human ingenuity and imagination
Whether it’s the imposing geometric forms of a grand and impressive building or the quaint idiosyncrasies of a rustic cottage, a gifted photographer can give even the uninitiated an appreciation of architecture. And this is especially true when these human interventions are set against a natural environment that provides color and texture, bringing the building to life in a new context.
The Epson International Pano Awards, now in its 11th year, is celebrating these achievements with a category devoted to excellence in panoramic photographs of built environments. From the dazzling ceiling of Sainte-Chapelle in Paris to the night lights of New York City to an old windmill in Toledo, Spain, each of these stunning panoramas finds a way to bring out the symmetry and beauty of an architect’s design, the spectacular contours of a cityscape, or the striking contrast of a man-made object and its natural environment.
