Caption

A few days before Christmas, a large open air event was held on the Grand Place of Mechelen. Thousands of people enjoyed a show which lit the night by fire. I loved how the Cathedral of Sint Rombouts was lit, a perfect occasion to try a new panorama. At first, i didn't want to enter this panorama because after all, it isn't a full equirectangular image. I messed up shooting the whole thing by accidentally pushing the tripod. But some people convinced me and here it is, my very first entry for WWP.
