After a lot of thinking I came up with the idea of making an object VR from a panorama.
I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but I went outside anyway and shot a VR in our neighborhood for testing purposes. After editing and playing around with it for a while, I liked the result so much that it became a keeper and ended up as my entry. It also gave me a chance to have some word-play with the theme of this event :-)
I'm personally very satisfied with the result, and I hope you enjoy it too...

The main panorama is taken with 4 shots around to create an equirectangular image.
