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.

Wow Ron, that's a nice shot. Very nice composition, even though IMHO cropping a bit off the top and left would improve the impact.

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

Very nice clear view. Could it be extended downwards?

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.

Symmetry?

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

Nice image. It makes me think about what the view from the same spot would have been like in its prime with a crowd.

I am totally fascinated by the history part - obviously because of the "emotions" evoked by the image.
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.

For once, I would have preferred more symmetry. I did not well understood by "pano's in landscape orientation" ? Personally, for these type of pano's, the individual pictures are taken in portrait orientation, before stitched together.
