Title: Odeon of Herodes Atticus

This is a 2 shot stitched pano taken @24mm with a 24-120 f/4 VR. There is distortion causing the wall to look curved inward.

I'm not bothered by the "curve" in the wall.

Symmetry?

It could be extended downwards a bit using boundary warp. I may publish that version later. This might have been an accidental pano. I want to experiment more with shooting pano's in Landscape orientation with a wide lens and only 2 or 3 images.

It would be more symmetrical, but not totally. The city and hill in the background break the symmetry a little.

what was it like to live back then? Must have been a nightmare comparing to what life is like now.

The view would have been nothing short of spectacular. Remember, back then there was only live entertainment. Than you for looking.
