5-shot stitched pano taken from the top of the tower in the crumbling
ruin of Montrichard Chateau on the river Cher. They let you ascend the
tower only if you agree to do so at your own risk. We all had a go :)
I did this shot hand-held, because I didn't have a tripod with me
(traveling by bicycle, remember) and there wasn't enough room up there
even if I had been able to bring one. As a result, there's quite a bit
of distortion in the final image, though I kind of like the effect
myself. This castle sits high up on a hillside overlooking the river and
climbing the tower gives you quite a view, as you can see:

Warning: Even at low JPEG quality setting, I could only get this one
down to about 180 meg.
